From 2013
Construction of planned public library delayed to 2016. (Marshfield News Herald, 5/29/2014)
The project. The new Library and Community Center is a collaboration between the city and community members with the city budgeting $3 million of the total $7 million to construct a new library and renovate the existing library into a community center. A common lobby will connect the two buildings. The council approved a $3 million allocation because it will not raise the tax rate based on projections completed by the city’s financial consulting firm.
The Library and Community Center Project Committee deadline has been extended to September 30, 2015. To date, the fundraising committee has raised $1,800,000.
