Library Board Reaction to Library Project

The chair of the Fort Frances Library Board says its been a roller coaster ride of emotions over the past two years with the library and technology project.

Monday, town council approved a construction contract, paving the way for the new library to be built.

Joyce Cunningham says it's was a sense of relief to have the project finally move forward.

"The excitement will be when those pick trucks get out there and start the project," says Cunningham, "and that we hope will be very soon."

The eventual start of construction is also expected to help with efforts to collect the $850 thousand in local pledges. About $200 thousand is still outstanding.
