In a recent joint meeting held on May 29, 2025, the City of Delavan's Library, Council, and Finance committees gathered to discuss significant developments in local infrastructure and community resources. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as members shared updates on new projects, particularly the exciting news surrounding the Imagination Center at Rheingdal Park in Madison.

The Imagination Center, which has been awarded to CCI, marks a historic milestone as it will be the first new library in Madison in 25 years. This innovative facility is designed to serve as a multifunctional indoor and outdoor library and community space, promising to enrich the local community with diverse resources and activities. The announcement sparked a lively discussion among attendees, highlighting the importance of such developments in fostering community engagement and learning.

Michelle, a participant in the meeting, reflected on her experiences with library renovations, drawing parallels to the Beloit College Library and the Stateline YMCA, both of which underwent significant transformations. She praised the quality of work done by CCI, noting their reputation for excellence in construction, which was further validated by awards received for previous projects.

As the meeting progressed, Saul, the attorney for CCI, was invited to share insights about the company’s longstanding commitment to quality and community service. His presence underscored the collaborative spirit of the meeting, as members expressed their enthusiasm for the potential impact of the Imagination Center on the region.

The discussions not only highlighted the immediate developments but also painted a broader picture of how such projects can enhance community life. As Delavan looks toward the future, the excitement surrounding the Imagination Center serves as a reminder of the vital role libraries play in fostering knowledge, creativity, and connection among residents.
