Updates

Larkspur officials are moving closer to a state grant application for a new library even as key project details remain unresolved. The City Council received an update on the project Wednesday. City Manager Dan Schwarz said the state library infrastructure fund has $439 million to distribute in matching grants for city library projects.

Larkspur officials have agreed to explore options to build a new civic campus on a municipal lot — including a library and city offices — and they’ll seek help from a state grant. The city recently received a $1 million injection from the state to help build a new library, a project that has been planned for more than five years. It also garnered the support of the Commons Foundation, a nonprofit that pledged to raise $5 million over three years to fund the project.
