What’s next on the Schedule?

Our team acknowledges that this is an important decision for Madison, and we support the community dialogue that is required to build a shared vision around what the new Central Library could mean for our city... Here is the next meeting on the schedule:

Central Library Surplus Property Criteria and Selection Committee
When: February 2, 2009
Why: The Disposal Committee will meet to discuss pros/cons of the alternative proposals submitted in response to the RFP.

FYI - Here’s the schedule from the Request for Proposal issued by the City of Madison on Sept 20, 2008: MadisonPublicLibraryRFP.pdf

And here’s the resulting development schedule that we anticipated in our proposal: Development_Schedule.pdf

After a development team is selected there is significant time required for selection of interior architect by the City, legal documentation and public approvals before a shovel can be put into the ground.

We are quite anxious to begin work on this project. We believe that the Central Library is a civic institution that plays an important role in our local economy, and a new 21st Century library is an investment that could do great good!
