The meeting focused on selecting finalists for the Amesbury Public Library (APL) Facilities Master Plan. APL Director Aimie Westphal reviewed the selection committee's work and the purpose of the evening's vote. Head of Archives Meghan Fahey summarized the scope requested from firms—conditions assessment, a facilities master plan, and future visioning strategies—and explained that proposals were evaluated on their vision, aesthetic, and proposed work plan for next steps on the building. Aimie also described why these three firms rose above other applicants to be invited for interviews.
