1/13/14 - Putnam Township is looking for a new home for its senior center, and the old Pinckney library building might be just what they need. Treasurer Pat Carney says the current senior center building is too small for the attendance and functions it houses. The township is seeking a new venue for the senior center, and the old library building on Mower Street is currently their first choice. It is three times the size of the current senior center building, and has been for sale ever since the Pinckney Library moved into the former village education center about a year ago. The township originally offered $199,000, but an inspection turned up problems including a faulty roof and an old furnace that will have to be addressed if the old library is to be used as a senior center. A revised offer was then made that library officials say is less than what their minimum asking price was. They have since made a counter-offer, although the amount is not being released. That offer is expected to be discussed during a closed session of the Putnam board this week. (TD/JK)
