Foster Growth: Expansion and Renovation Project

Link to March 12 Daily Union Online article, "Library staff bookin' it to 'new' home".

Excerpt:   The Dwight Foster Public Library is moving to a temporary home while the historic 93-year-old structure undergoes a substantial remodeling and expansion beginning April 1.

Located at 102 East Milwaukee Ave. in Fort Atkinson, the library will close at 5 p.m. this Saturday and remain closed at that location until after the $5.5 million project is completed in early 2011.

A groundbreaking ceremony is set April 5 for the project, which calls for remodeling the existing 21,000 square feet of space and adding 12,000 square feet of new space. Joe Daniels Construction Co. Inc. of Madison is the general contractor.
