I haven't seen any updates on the new Del City Library in awhile. Any news on that?
Del City Update:
Tim & & Devin met with the City Manager, Mark Edwards on 2/12 primarily as a introductory meeting but also to take stock of where we are in the process.
Mark reaffirmed Del City's commitment to the project and expressed a strong interest in getting started.
Tim will be meeting again with Mark the 1st part of March to review specific steps needed to move this project forward.
Thanks again for asking.
Thanks for the info!
