Project Newsletters
Project newsletters are one of the main ways we keep the community in the loop as the library building project moves forward. Each issue highlights where we are in the process, what work has been completed, what’s coming next, and when residents can weigh in. They’re designed to make a complicated, multi-year construction project feel understandable and predictable — not something happening “behind the scenes.”
P3 – Project Planning Professionals, the Town’s Owner’s Project Manager – works with the Library, the Permanent Building Committee, and the design team to develop these newsletters. Their role is to translate technical updates (design milestones, cost estimates, schedule changes, site logistics, grant requirements, etc.) into clear, plain-language information for the public. By coordinating input from the full project team, P3 helps ensure that what you see in each newsletter is accurate, consistent, and reflects the most current information available.
In short, the newsletters exist so residents aren’t guessing about what’s happening with the project. They’re a tool for transparency, accountability, and ongoing community engagement from early planning through construction.

Newsletter 2
From Study to Schematic: How a Library Design Comes Together The Clinton Public Library project has been carefully guided through a series of important steps — each one building on the last to ensure that the design reflects both community priorities and professional planning standards.
This summer, the Library opened its doors for a series of special tours that invited residents to see “behind the scenes” of the current building. Community members were able to view areas not typically accessible to the public and gain a first-hand understanding of the building’s condition.
