MAITLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY AND QUINN STRONG PARK PROJECT SCHEMATIC DESIGN UPDATE: HBM ARCHITECTURE INTERIOR DESIGN & RVI PLANNING + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE. Kevin Kennedy, from HBM Architecture, based in Ohio, virtually attended the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Meeting and Ryan Seacrist from RVI Panning and Landscape Architecture, based in Orlando, was at the meeting to give a presentation on the latest schematic design of the new Maitland Public Library and Quinn Strong Park.

It was shown to City Council, Arts and History last week and next week it will be taken before the Library Board. City Manager Mark Reggentin gave a positive overview about this project and stated this is a good time to be in Maitland. There are four phases; the conceptual design, which started approximately one and a half years ago, design development, construction drawings, and anticipating early 2027 to start construction. Along each step there will be cost estimates, to make sure we stay within budget. VII. OTHER BUSINESS THE BOARD DEEMS ADVISABLE There was none. VIII.
