Link to December 9 Portage Daily Register article, "Library Board takes steps toward expansion".Excerpt: The Portage Public Library Board of Trustees took more steps toward a possible library expansion Tuesday.
Before the board's regular monthly meeting, several board members, meeting as a proposed expansion committee, talked with a representative from Gunderson Construction Co. of Portage to discuss the feasibility of a building expansion. The meeting was not listed on the city's Web site, and the Daily Register was not told it was scheduled.
Board President Richard Davis said he didn't want to talk about details of the meeting or of Gunderson's feasibility study because planning for a possible expansion is still in its early stages.
"Gunderson has done a feasibility study for us," Davis said, and he said the next step is for board members to discuss the results with the Bidwell Foundation, which paid for the study, and each other.
"We haven't even met as a full board to discuss the complete feasibility study," Davis said. "So they (Gunderson) just gave us a little more detail with respect to the feasibility of the project."
"We've got a plan, and we're going to move forward," he said.
