LENOX â The town-owned library is facing a major structural rehabilitation and restoration project to repair and shore up the historic plaster ceiling in the dome room.
The total project cost could approach an estimated $1 million, according to the libraryâs application seeking initial funding of $100,000 from the Community Preservation Committee. Annual town meeting voters make the final decision on requests for support from the taxpayer-funded Community Preservation Act.
An application for $250,000 in support has been submitted to the Massachusetts Cultural Council Facilities Fund, Chief Administrative Officer Christopher Ketchen told The Eagle. The town would invest in the project through its capital budget, and an additional amount might come out of the general fund.
