Library Construction Update
|
Despite all the recent rain, construction is still going strong on the future Public Library. Outside, crews have nearly completed the parking lot grading and the storm water retention system. They've also completed the terrace roof on the second floor. Inside, they completed the ceiling grid for the wood panel ceiling, and began installing drywall and insulation. Next month, crews hope to continue installing drywall, start plastering the exterior, and finish installing the electrical and plumbing systems.
