Inflection Point

We are at an inflection point in regards to funding and building a new modern library:

• The City now has up to $1 Million to put into a new library from the state grant received in June;
• The City Council has now decided to move the library out of City Hall and not move it back regardless of what they decide to do with City Hall or the City government services;
• The City now may be able to access up to $10 Million in State funds through a matching grant program for libraries in the 2021-22 State budget; and
• The City needs to make a series of decisions regarding the new library at the Commons because the State grant application is due in March and funds may be granted as soon as April, 2022.

This inflection point is the most positive position TCF as been in since we started in 2018, though it still means that we need to raise $5 Million by the end of 2022.
