The building, constructed in 1970-71, was vacated a few yearsago when its operation was relocated to the renovated WarrenCommunity Center about two miles away. Clinton Township residentGiulio Zaccagnini was one of three bidders on the building and the1.1-acre parcel east of Ryan Road. His winning bid is conditionalupon the city rezoning the property from single-family residentialto office use.

Zaccagnini, who owns steel and woodworking companies, couldrenovate the building for medical or other possible office-typebusinesses. A public hearing on that rezoning is slated for Dec.14. Mayor Mark Steenbergh and the city's planning commission havealready recommended the land change be approved.

An independent appraiser reported the former library building isworth approximately $137,000 if the property zoning remainedresidential, or $440,347 if it was rezoned to office.
