7 – 9:00 PM Presentations and Discussion
Capitol Lakes Retirement – Grand Hall 333 W. Main St.
Sponsored by Capitol Neighborhoods, Inc.Capitol Neighborhoods invites Madison residents to an open forum to discuss the future of Madison’s central library. The City has received two proposals for construction of a new central library and has contracted for a study of the options for renovating the current facility. A city Committee is currently reviewing these proposals and is expected to make a recommendation soon.
This will be a chance to hear presentations about each of the options and to engage is a discussion on the merits of each. Community input is vital to the assessing the future of the central library. This is your chance to become informed and to inform the decision makers.
Speakers will include representatives from the two development teams, T. Wall Properties and The Fiore Companies, and from HGA Architects and Engineers who prepared the renovation study. Public fundraising will be required with any of the options and The Madison Library Foundation will present information on the potential of these opportunities.
A significant portion of the forum will be devoted to a community discussion of the future of the central library as portrayed by these three options. All are invited to join us in this important discussion.
Further information on the two developer proposals is available on the Madison Library website here.
