How much would a new branch cost if built in Franklin?
It has been incorrectly reported that the building would cost $28 million. The library has a capital projects bonding rate capacity of $26.7 million, which is determined by law. A 90,000 square foot building at an average construction cost of $200 per square foot would be approximately $18 million. But the size and scope of the project would be determined through a process that includes public input.
