Why was the land for the Kingstowne Regional Library bought so early?
The land and funding were both available, and delaying the purchase might have resulted in losing such an advantageous location. The site chosen was convenient to major roads, centrally located for Kingstowne residents, and big enough for the library’s needs (a regional branch requires a minimum of 5.5 to six acres to accommodate the building and adequate parking). Since its purchase, the site has been improved with curbs, gutters and sidewalks around its perimeter, and all public utilities are available.
