(Deerfield, MA) — A planned renovation of Deerfield’s Tilton Library may happen sooner than expected. Deerfield officials have been notified that the project has been moved from 12th to 5th on the Mass. Board of Library Commissioners list for grant funding. That state grant is expected to fund a large portion of the proposed $8 million dollar renovation, with the remainder being funded through a Proposition 2 ½ debt exclusion which is expected to be voted on later this year.
