City weighs futures for Ottawa old city hall and library
Eight months after moving, Ottawa leaders lack a plan for the old city hall at Fourth and Walnut and the library building on First and Hickory. The former city hall is used by the school district and may be sold after a future middle school opens. The library sits empty, with potential as an art gallery or visitor center if a joint use with OCAC and the tourism bureau can be arranged.
