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.
Learn more about this funding request at slotkin.house.gov/community-project-funding-info.
Submissions are closed.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Over 90 people submitted their own “Expressions of Support.”

Addison Township Planning Commission Grants Special Use Approval to Library
July 1, 2020
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Addison Township Planning Commission Grants Special Use Approval to Library
In a unanimous vote last night, the Addison Township Planning Commission granted the Library’s request for “Special Use” which would allow for the construction of Addison Township’s first Library building on the donated land across Rochester Rd. from the Library’s current location.
This approval marks an important development in the plans for the new Library. The donated land is currently made up of three separate zoning types, and “Special Use” permission was required in order to construct the Library on the parcel.

CARES Act Changes to Charitable Giving for 2020
June 30, 2020
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Make a donation to the Addison Township Public Library Capital Campaign and increase your 2020 tax deduction with new provisions listed in the CARES Act
In response to the health crisis facing our nation, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in March 2020. In addition to providing individual stimulus checks, the CARES Act includes provisions that impact charitable giving.
Cash Gifts
Individuals who do not itemize their deductions can claim a deduction for up to $300 (up to $600 for a household filing jointly) in charitable giving. This new deduction reduces a donor’s adjusted gross income, resulting in a reduction of taxable income and tax savings.
100% Charitable Deduction Limit
For individuals who itemize, the usual deduction limit for cash gifts to public charities is 60% of adjusted gross income (AGI). For 2020, gifts of cash to charity are deductible up to 100% of AGI.
CARES Act charitable giving incentives only apply to cash donations made to public charities. Please see your accountant or tax advisor to determine the tax impact of your charitable donations for 2020.
