The most needed element of the new space is room. Room to have more materials, room for all ages of children, room for computers and other embedded and seamless cutting-edge technology tools, and room to serve the business community with specialized resources and meeting places.
The building will be fronted with a year-round, interactive plaza aimed at making the city’s historic downtown a destination. Sidewalk treatments, way-finding signage, lighting, landscaping and activity will be a focal point for locals, visitors and businesses.
