New Cedar Rapids Library Sports Hefty Price Tag

Link to June 24 Cedar Rapids Gazette article, "New Cedar Rapids library to cost $45 million".

Excerpt: A detail spotted by a Gazette reporter in a City Hall handout prompted the head of the Cedar Rapids library board to say Wednesday in a press release that, yes, a new library may cost $45 million.

Susan Corrigan, library board president, defended the price tag on Tuesday night when asked about it at the city’s open house to discuss flood-damaged city buildings. Corrigan noted that $45 million will cover buildings, materials, furniture and parking.
