Watch us grow, from the ground up! Many area residents, and even some very enthusiastic cheerleaders, turned out to support the Library as ground was broken to mark the launch of construction on July 30.
Excitement is building as the project begins to take form. If you’re driving by on Mahoning Avenue, you can see the progress. The site has been prepared and electrical and data conduit has been laid in preparation for laying the foundation. Before you know it, walls will go up. If the project continues to be on-schedule, the building will be under roof well before winter begins.
New Library Director Heidi Daniel attended the groundbreaking and expressed her thanks to the community: “The support of the community has been gratifying. It is my sincere belief that this new library building will be with the activities, resources, and dreams of the residents who use it.”
The new 6,650-square-foot branch library is being built on Mahoning Avenue near the Jackson-Milton High School/Middle School complex. A fundraising campaign with a goal of $250,000 is currently underway for this branch. If you’re interested in donating, please call 330.740.6086.
Construction on the $1.712 million project is expected to take about 8-9 months. Barring delays, it is hoped that the new branch will open in March or April of 2013.
Project architect is Ronald Cornell Faniro and the general contractor is DSV Builders, Inc.
