planning as well as construction of all town buildings so that the town
will gain full permanent value In 1996 Cary Memorial Library and
school projects received considerable committee scrutiny and assistance,
particularly in selection of architectural and planning firms While
the library project was denied state approval for reimbursement in
September with reapplication planned in 1997 , the committee continued to
offer experienced judgment to help at critical junctures in planning for
schools
Throughout the year they worked closely with Director of School
Buildings Operations John Moynihan on the ongoing capital projects , such
as system-wide upgrading for technology and improvements to Harrington

expansion to last well into the twenty-first century
