CONWAY — A site visit by state historic preservation and cultural resources staff and at least one federal official of the Main Street Project, including the eastern project in front of the Conway Public Library, is set for June 3.
Meanwhile, library trustees have released a letter saying they consider any impact to library grounds to be detrimental.
