In Carnegie news
The Carnegie Building’s exterior is complete, and the interior is being worked on. The city hauled furniture into the building last week.
The next steps include working on the parking lot, doing landscaping work at the site and to bring back the war memorial stone, Collins said at last week’s parks board meeting. The war memorial is temporarily sitting at G.A.R. Cemetery.
There will be future public input meetings on the associated veterans park that will be on the site, Collins said. The veterans park will be put where the annex, a former add-on wing from the 1960s, stood on the south side of the building.

Backhoes took to work and demolished Hal Moe Pool Monday, May 14, 2018. The site at Third Street and Pine Avenue is turning into a green space park. The lettering and a few other elements of the building were removed for preservation before demolition. Hal Moe Pool closed in 2007. Hal Moe Pool broke ground July 25, 1970 and a community fundraiser paid to open it. It received a roof in 1988.
