Welcome

We are excited to share our project with you. This construction project has been a goal of the Library Board for over ten years. The new library will better serve Plummer's citizens and patrons from the surrounding area. Please come back often to check out the progress through photos.

The Walls Go Up!

The construction crew stepped up the pace
and there was barely enough time to take
photos as they started putting up the walls

Above: Thursday afternoon - the west wall is up




Friday afternoon - northside wall




This is where the main entrance will be on the
east side of the building



Looking in from the south side - workers erect
a support for the roof

Behind the Scenes

There has been some activity behind the scenes on the project including the first pay request going out for a total of $75,338.50 to pay the contractor, architect, bond attorney and testing. Our second quarterly Federal Report was submitted. And a change order to award two of the add alternates for siding and culture stone wainscoting was approved.

Cory Trapp of GD Longwell Architects has been busy processing submittals and working with Library Director Paulina Freeburg on color choices.

JW Elmer Construction is moving along with the project and is on schedule.
