During a press conference Wednesday, proposed designs for the expansion of the Washington County Free Library on South Potomac Street in Hagerstown will be unveiled.

Architect Brent Feight of Bushey Feight Morin Architects Inc. briefly described the project during Tuesday’s joint meeting of the Hagerstown City Council and the Washington County Commissioners.

The architect is close the end of the design phase and bid documents should be prepared by mid-April 2010, he said.

A 40,000-foot expansion of the existing building and work on adjacent properties to make way for 150 parking spaces is planned, Feight said.
