I think this is a great idea. A vibrant library can draw people to Mason Avenue. And, is parking really ever an issue? This is a wonderful step ahead for Cape Charles and surrounding towns. It will not only benefit our seasonal visitors but be a huge boon to year-round residents.

Buy the BoA Bldg! Go Library! Expect more foot traffic and OOT visitors.
Not to mention public mtgs and expanded internet accessibility.

Trim the pecan tree; the naysayers can park elsewhere on that corner lot,
so their jalopies don’t get dented. Invite people to gather the nuts. (No pun).

Convert the School to Apts – there’s nothing “historic” about this building.
Was a war won/lost here? Treaty signed? Indians defeated? What? Get real.

Congrats to the progessive Town Council; change is hell, but you’re doing it.

I have said it before and I will say it again — this is a bad location for the library! People using the library will be taking up parking spaces that the local businesses need. The parking lot in the back will have that giant pecan tree dropping pecans all over the cars. Here we go again spending money we don’t have for something we don’t need. We give away one building for urban apartments overlooking the Park and playground — and say what you will, the library could have been in the Community Center. Why can’t we keep our historic 100-year old school and combine everything into one building?
