AMHERST Removal of two large trees from the backyard at the North Amherst Library is a sign that a planned expansion of the 1893 building remains on track for this year.
With the trees gone from where the addition’s north wall will go, the initial steps to begin construction are taking place, Town Manager Paul Bockelman said Jan. 19. The project is being paid for by an anonymous donor.
Recently, a drilling rig was on site to take soil samples so the addition’s foundation can be designed, and the Department of Public Works, after taking away the stumps, dug test pits near the existing foundation.
