One of the earlier architects rendering of the "Hasbrouck Heights Library / Senior Center" that was considered, but not accepted. A committee of trustees and councilmen reviewed all proposals, and decided upon the firm of Arcari Iovino.  This is the same firm hired by our council to evaluate plans for the boro hall.  No contracts have been signed for the Library/Senior Center at this time.
