City OKs Franklin buy as library moves eyed
Ottawa officials consider purchasing the Franklin building for city use with possible library stack space on the basement level and future first floor offices after council chambers and municipal court space are settled. The plan may include moving the municipal court to the building to speed cases and separating it from county courts, with city hall offices on a second floor and potential future expansion. No specific uses are approved. Commissioner Matt Matthews changes stance, noting library move seems likely. Also, a special use permit for a home day care at 535 Ash was approved.
