From a blighted site arises a community ‘gem’ in Waunakee. (Waunakee Tribune, 7/25/2019)
Next week, as the Waunakee area celebrates the opening of the new public library, it will mark the end of a nearly 15-year process that hit several road bumps along the way.
This chapter in Waunakee’s history involved nearly 500 Waunakee area residents and those hired to work on the project, all who helped see the project to fruition.
But according to one library board and village board member, the long timeline may have benefited the project overall.
“The time it took was a benefit to the library,” said Village Trustee Gary Herzberg. “It gave village board members a better understanding of the library and the needs.”
