LFNAC members have been very busy during March and April. We’ve been meeting every two weeks and have accomplished the following things.
The Committee hosted a “pre-bid walk-through” for the architectural firms interested in responding to our RFQ or Request for Qualifications. Representatives from 19 firms toured the Dickinson building, the Town Hall and the areas surrounding both buildings. They looked at the Center School, too, and also viewed the area adjacent to Smith Academy.
Fifteen of those firms submitted information by the deadline on April 12. The committee has narrowed its choice to eight companies. We will discuss these in more detail and choose 3 or 4 semi-finalists to be interviewed. The finalist will help the Committee locate the best site for the new Hatfield Library.
LFNAC met with the Library Trustees, the Historical Commission, the Historical Society and the Selectboard at the end of March to let all of them know what progress has been made and to discuss the future of Dickinson Memorial should the library move. It’s still too early to know whether the building will be renovated and added to for the library or if a brand new building will be built. The above groups will meet again in the future when LFNAC’s plans are further along.
The Committee now has a blog! You can read the minutes from all meetings at http://hatfieldlfnac.blogspot.com/
LFNAC consists of nine members: Library Director Sheila McCormick; Library Trustee Dodie Gaudet; Historical Commission Liaison Lynn Omasta; Martin Antonetti, Susan Gaughan; Harold Green, Chair; Milton Howard; Mike Paszek; and Mary Williams.
