Ald. Brett Frazier to Host Listening Session on Proposed Library Expansion

Ald. Brett Frazier will be hosting a listening session on March 4, 2013 at 6 p.m. at the Shaw Municipal Center, 430 E. High Street, to hear from citizens regarding the possible relocation of City Hall and expansion of the Milton Public Library that has been recently proposed.

Ald. Frazier would like to invite all interested citizens to this event to express thoughts and to ask questions about the possible relocation of City Hall and expansion of the Library that will be debated by the City Council in the coming weeks.

The subjects of long term needs and affordability will be at the center of this discussion. Input garnered from this meeting will be relayed to the City Council as that body seeks to prioritize City funds and capital improvements over the next several years.

A public presentation from Milton Public Library Board President Bill Wilson and Director Lisa Brooks will describe what citizens could see and expect from an expanded library in terms of utilization of expanded service areas and programming options that would be available with the additional needed space. That presentation will also be presented to the Milton City Council at their regularly scheduled meeting on March 5, 2013. The specifics of the listening session are found below:
