HARRISTON — The new Harriston library branch is still on track to re-open in May, as long as the new building gets electrical power soon.
Wellington County construction manager Kevin Mulholland updated members county library board Jan. 11 on the status of the library project.
Mechanical and electrical installations are among the list of things to be done, and Mulholland said it’s important for the building to get power by the end of January.
