| A 4'X4' sign will like the one above will soon be placed at our newest library location in District 1, on the former site of the Wells Fargo Bank on Mobile Hwy and Bellview Ave. |
We have purchased the former Wells Fargo Bank building on Mobile Highway near Bellview elementary school. We are in the process of re-purposing this facility as District 1's first public library.
According to staff, here is the latest information on the state of this project:
"As it stands now, a design firm will be chosen by April of
2019, the design will be finalized by September 2019, and work will be started
December of 2019 with construction finished a year to a year-and-a-half later.
Keep in mind all of these dates are tentative and can change."
"We were able to reserve the Bellview Elementary School,
across the street from the new library sight [SIC], for Monday, February 25, 2019
with an intended 6:00 pm start."
The meeting on the 25th of February will be for the benefit of the public, and it is expected that we will give updated project timelines and details at this meeting in February.
I can't wait for this library to open, what a benefit this will be to northwest Escambia County and District 1!
