Update April 2011:
On April 20, 2011 the Palm Springs city council approved the submission of a redesign of the Welwood Murray Memorial Library. The redesign, which will be under scrutiny by various city boards and commissions, attempts to stay within the historic footprint of the library and the end result will be one that the community can embrace. For background information on PSPF’s leadership role in this important and ongoing advocacy click here.
11/23/10: Good news regarding the Welwood Murray Memorial Library: A 3-2 vote has been cast to uphold the decision of the Historic Site Preservation Board to deny the Certificate of Approval for the proposed remodel of the library. The city council decided that the redesign project for this site will be based on council guidance. The council has two weeks to provide this guidance to the city staff and it is hoped that the remodeling will be sensitive to the original architecture.
