Poynette Redevelopment Project Includes Space for New Library

Downtown redevelopment plan drafted. (Poynette Press, 9/27/2011)

Excerpt: The initial draft of the plan identified a concept building that would create an 8,400-square-foot space on the first floor for the library and a coffee shop and a 7,200-square-foot space on the second floor to house approximately three or four commercial office tenants.

Other improvements would be 25 off-street parking spaces and a "pocket park/walkway" for access to parking and outdoor café seating. The plan would also preserve the Poynette Area Historical Society building and separate commercial and residential uses on the same block.

But as Poynette Administrator Daniel Guild says, "We have a ways to go".
