NCPL's Future Home: 435 W. 1st St.
The following basic critera were used to help choose a suitable future library site:
- Environmental & Permitting Issues (e.g. former hazardous materials risk, orientation to wind and sun, excessive industrial noise).
- Library Operations (e.g. proximity to other patron-generators, access to major streets, ease of bookmobile and large vehicle access, outdoor program areas).
- Municipal Planning Compatibility (e.g. proximity to downtown, visual impact, utility access).
- Ease of Land Acquisition (e.g. single property owner, reasonable cost).
- Size & Shape of the Property (e.g. meets Facility Needs Assessment requirements).
