New Library in Athens-Limestone's Future


It's just another sign of progress for our area. It appears that everything is "on-track" to build a new 37,000 square foot library for Athens and Limestone County. And, we are going to be eco friendly in the way it is done. First, an existing building, the old Kroger store on Jefferson Street in Athens will be renovated to be the new library. The building is already purchased, but it will take a fund raising effort to finish up the necessary finances. The county and the city are in partnership to "make it happen," and the Athens-Limestone Library Foundation will be raising money from the public. So, this is not going to be an immediately available resource for our citizens, but it is already well under way as architect plans are available, and fund raising has commenced. If you would like to know how you can be a part of this project, call me. Above is the architects elevation for the building. Nice, huh!?
