From the meeting
At the October 19, 2026 meeting, the board discussed a State Historic Preservation Office grant process for the library front steps that had not yet started. They discussed requesting a $20,000 grant for architectural consultation before applying for additional grant funding for the stairs. The work is still in planning, with timing to align to the state's sidewalk repair next year.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
