CONWAY — Selectmen were briefed about plans for the new library park, by the library director and friend’s chair at their meeting on Jan. 13.
The town is gearing up for the second phase of the Main Street project, which will involve intersection improvements from the Four Corners to the intersection of Route 16 and 113 near the library. This will extend the library park toward the intersection. Construction on this phase is expected to start in the spring.
