PUTNAM — The furnishings for the new Putnam Municipal Complex is just a couple brackets away from being done.
Last week the customized end pieces for some of the shelving units in the children’s library were installed. They take their playful cue from the mural in the children’s library, with some modern, cool tree designs.
The six or eight display cabinets for the Aspinock Historical Society came in but a couple of them are missing shelf brackets, according to Town Administrator Elaine Sistare.
And in the second-floor community room, at the top of the grand staircase, the 27-foot conference table was recently installed. It’s boat shaped and it’s made of solid wood. It’s 2.5 feet wide at the ends and 5.5 feet wide in the middle. It’s long enough to accommodate about 20 chairs.
Sistare said that room is now wired for Zoom meetings. The Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance will continue to meet in the meeting room on the first floor, as it is larger. She said this upstairs community room can probably accommodate the majority of the rest of the boards. The town had hoped that it would be delivered in time for the big move-in last October but these items weren’t ready. Sistare said that the conference table actually was finished earlier but there was a defect in it and the town said, “Go ahead and make it perfect, we’ll wait.”
