After the successful November election, the Library is now ready to complete the design process and begin building its new facility on Alpine Street (link opens in new window). Through the course of the design process, the Library’s planning committee will work closely with Holzheimer, Bolek Architects (link opens in new window) to address the functional and aesthetic building needs. This process will continue over the next few months and will involve finalizing the space and area layouts inside the building. Updated plans will be on display in the Library as they become available. The construction of the new Library will take approximately two years to complete and involves many steps in addition to the visible construction phase. The Library is currently working to finalize the purchase of the Alpine Street (link opens in new window) properties. At the same time, the Library is preparing for the planning and zoning process to receive necessary approvals needed from the Village of Dexter (link opens in new window) to start building. The Library will need to go through all the proper channels and work closely with the Village over the next several months in order to obtain all the necessary permits and approvals, before construction can begin. While it is too early in the process to determine a groundbreaking date, the Library will keep residents informed of progress through this newsletter.
