PROPOSED LIBRARY & HISTORY CENTER: Avalon has proposed a new Library & History Center to provide more space, along with a renovated community space in the current library.  A new library in the 200-block of 39th Street would double the size of the current library to 18,000 square feet, and incorporate the History Center.  The current library would be renovated to include both a school library and a 6,000 square foot Community Event Space.  The proposal anticipates no additonal tax burden.  For details and Q&A
 
AVALON'S TIDAL DASHBOARD is the result of a partnership with meteorologist Joe Martucci and ShorelySafe.  The dashboard includes current and projected tidal conditions using real time data, historical high tide info, and more.  The site will prove useful for everything from routine checking of current tides to planning in advance of anticipated flooding.  Check it out
