Viewfinder: Renovations At Former Mohr Library

This week, we take a look at the ongoing work being done to the former to turn it into a new municipal courthouse.

Court Administrator Joseph Tedino is doing most of the carpentry work himself — he also drafted the design for the renovation — and other town employees are completing the installation of plumbing, electrical service, fire alarms, new staircases, and other features.

The in-house work is keping down the cost; Mayor Joseph Polisena estimated that the town will spend less than $250,000 — $200,000 of which has already been budgeted — to retrofit the old library.
