First Selectman Kevin Moynihan said he has received “very little feedback,” as of Tuesday, April 20 after he voiced support for preservation of the 1913 New Canaan Library, a topic that has sparked controversy in recent months.
He said the old building has “historic value” during a Planning and Zoning Commission special public hearing, on Thursday, April 15 and that the old building and new 44,000 square proposed building “can coexist.”
