Invest in Woodland Community Library | FVRLibraries

The Vision

To create a place that is welcoming, flexible, collaborative, and cost-effective; to enrich the connection between people and their community; to make an emblematic destination; to anchor and catalyze future development in Woodland.

Project Milestones:

July 2022: We are revising the schematic design to fit the 7,500 square-foot building.
December 2021: The project had been on hold since late 2020, when the estimate for the 12,000 square-foot library was nearly $2 million over the $7 million budget. It was determined the best course is to reduce the overall size.

Next Steps:

August–November 2022: Design development and estimating
December 2022–March 2023: Construction drawings
April–May 2023: Permitting and bids
June 2023: Groundbreaking
June 2023–2024: Construction will take up to 12 months; the new library is expected to open summer 2024
