Happy New Year from the Greenfield Library Construction Team.
The construction team completed the removal of the old Fire Station this month. We also began the process of relocating utilities that were in the footprint of the new building. This will be ongoing through late January.
All buildings start with a foundation. The construction of the Greenfield Library foundation has begun! The footings and walls along the Post Office side have been poured. The crews will follow the perimeter of the structure around the rear and work their way back to front on the existing library side.
Supply chain issues facing the country have not affected the project timeline. The structural steel frame will be ready to install in early February. This opens the site to many other trades.
The work in the street in front of the Library is also completed for this season. Some patchwork will be needed in the springtime.
As the building rises, it will look awkward and disjointed. This is will lead some people to judge the structure prior to the finishing touches. We ask that you withhold your judgments until that last piece of trim is on. We know you’re going to love this Library.
