UPDATE: 2022 Congressional Requests for Community Project Funding
Over 90 Letters Submitted!
When we reached out to the community for “Expressions of Support,” we had no idea we’d get this many from such a variety of people. It seems, nearly everyone is happy to help out the Library.
As of this morning, we’ve submitted our application for a $500k grant to fund the construction of the new library. This grant will allow us to begin construction. We will still be required to secure a construction loan, but the amount of the loan will be reduced by the size of this grant.
Accompanying our application were ALL of the letters from ALL of these people. We feel that this will make a big impact in the selection process and thank every one of you from the bottom of our hearts.
Stay tuned to this Website for updates.

2022 Congressional Requests for Community Project Funding
We need your help Today!
We have an opportunity to request funding for our new library building through our Congressional Representative Elissa Slotkin. Applications are due April 16, 2021.
One of the factors of consideration is community support for a project. We’d like to solicit your thoughts on the new library and include your submissions with our application for funding.
We feel like we’ve got a great chance for this funding. We’ve got a “shovel-ready” project, with planning nearly complete and zoning / planning approval imminent. Please take a few minutes and send us your thoughts.
Thank you.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Over 90 people submitted their own “Expressions of Support.”
