Library seeks professional assessment of storm damaged annex
Advocates for Val Verde County Library ask County Commissioners Court to fund a formal assessment of the Harlow house annex next to the main library at 300 Spring St. The terra cotta roof failed in the April 2002 hailstorm, water intrusion caused mold in multiple floors, and the building was sealed. Options include repair, cleanup, demolition, or new modern construction on the site.
