Southington Public Library announced, at a virtual Southington Town Council meeting, that they plan to pursue the construction of a new building and the demolition of the existing one. The library has agreed to a plan that would cost $13.9 million. Kristi Sadowski, library director and Jeff Hoover, library design director with Tappe Architects, spoke Jan. 23 at Southington Library with residents about their plans. The new building plan would also see a new building constructed to the right of the current building, in the parking lot area. The old building would then be demolished and new parking spaces would be created. There will be some impact to parking while the building is under construction. The town council also voted to bond $2.5 million to design and construct a back-up well for the Southington Water Department’s well number 9.
