After the conversation and walkthrough at the Moorcroft Town Center (MTC) with Commissioner Fred Devish regarding the possible relocation of the Moorcroft Branch Library into the building, the council is looking again at funding sources for moving Town Hall to the hill. Mayor Ben Glenn spoke to the pre-approved plan at a workshop last week: “I think we have to get refocused on that.

According to Mayor Karla Brandenburg, “It sta...
