Draper Road Library Cafe (405 Draper Road)
A cafe is being built at 405 Draper Road and 411 Miller Street downtown. In November 2025 Council approved an agreement for the developer to relocate a Town sewer on the site with its own work, with the Town reimbursing up to $200,000; the agreement stated a goal of opening in March or April 2026.
The project
The details.
The Miller Street Cooperative Development Agreement moves a Town sewer out of a 48-inch storm sewer that crosses the property, estimated at $158,880, and says coordinating the work avoids temporarily closing Miller Street and the property's parking. Council also vacated utility easements at 401 and 405 Draper Road on December 9, 2025. No public source confirming the opening was found as of October 2026.
