The goal of this project is the full- time occupancy of the building not only by City and Library staff but also by members of cultural, historical, artistic and business community groups. The City of Roslyn has been working in partnership with organizations and individuals since 2004 to restore this unique space. This project will not be abandoned; the building is a principal City asset which needs rehabilitation to serve current and future generations of both community members and tourists. The operations and maintenance strategy is simple: it will be maintained in the same manner that all of Roslyn's City assets are maintained — by city staff including members of the Public Works Department and volunteers. Funding will be provided by the annual City budget.
