The committee proposes renovating the Old Library and Josiah Smith Tavern to benefit the community, though some compromises will need to be made. They have worked to consider many interests and requirements in their multifaceted proposals. Continuing to neglect these historic buildings would be irresponsible. The proposals include moving the Women's Community League to the Old Library and opening the lower level as a history center and archives, while turning the tavern into a gathering place.
