This is part of
the "Perform" wall system. These blocks are a mixture of concrete
and styrofoam, which will provide a lot of insulation and hopefully
lower utility bills for the new Lower Valley library building. They
stack the blocks together with rebar to stabilize them, then pour
concrete in the empty holes. This is the
first time this type of wall has been used in a City building
project.

The walls start to go
up.
