By Staff Report-

Warsaw Community Public Library Board on Tuesday approved paperwork that will allow for the privately funded wing of the new addition.

The changes amount to $156,000.

Total anticipated cost of the project is $4,184,702.

The entire project is being done in two phases, the first of which involves expanding the building to the west. That phase is expected to be complete by September. Afterward, renovations on the current facility will begin. The entire project is slated to be finished by April 1, 1998.

Also Monday, the board delayed action on bids to remove an underground storage tank, which needs to be removed before other steps in the project can go forward.

Removal of the tank is complicated by its proximity to various utility lines and North Detroit, which is part of Ind. 15.

Bids varied greatly, in part, because some contractors were unaware of the complications. [[In-content Ad]]
