Town Council approves library and school building project updates

The Middletown Town Council meeting on May 5, 2025, focused on updates regarding several key community projects, including the library and school building initiatives.

During the meeting, the town administrator provided a comprehensive update on these projects. The council discussed the library building project, where the library building committee recently held its first meeting with the town's project owner. Four different options for managing the project were presented, and the committee recommended proceeding with a construction manager at risk model. This approach allows for greater control over the architect's work, which is crucial given that over 60% of the project's budget will be allocated to visual elements rather than physical construction.

Following the library update, the council turned its attention to the school building project, indicating that further discussions would be necessary to address various aspects of this initiative.

Overall, the meeting underscored the town's commitment to enhancing community facilities through careful planning and management of significant projects. The council's decisions will shape the future of both the library and school facilities in Middletown.
