> There has been a lot of buzz spinning up as the decision for the fate of the old Tompkins County Library nears (this July 7th at the next legislative session). Many people still have questions and more want to get caught up to speed. The legislators right now are split on the decision and we have a chance to voice our opinions and encourage our legislators to stand with us and our choice for the old TC library!!!
> 
> The Dewitt Park Neighborhood Association has organized an informational presentation session by the developer teams with the two leading proposals: Franklin Properties with Stream Collaborative architecture + landscape architecture and Travis Hyde with Holt Architects. This is a great opportunity to learn how they stack up with respect to providing services for the community, affordable housing, sustainable design, preservation of greenscape, off street parking, project duration and community support.
> 
> We will have time for brief summary presentations by both teams followed by a lengthy period of Q&A. 
> 
> PLEASE COME and get educated and then share your vote with legislators and common council reps. We have a chance to shape the face of our downtown Dewitt Park neighborhood and we have less than 2 weeks to make this happen. One final push and we can get the type of smart urban walkable density that will work in our historic Dewitt Park Neighborhood.

> If you would like to get some background before the meeting - a second round of op eds were just released in the Ithaca Voice concerning the Old Tompkins County Library. Three letters were included. The first is from myself and Katherine Stoner, the second is from the developer Travis Hyde, and the third is from Sustainable Tompkins director Gay Nicholson. If you have not had a chance to get updates here is your chance!
