County staff announced a public ribbon cutting and building dedication for the Grace project and library, scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m. at 230 Grace Street.

"We're gonna hold a ribbon cutting and building dedication for the Grace project. The program is anticipated to last approximately half of an hour," Josh (county staff) told the board, adding that commissioners and project partners would be invited to speak and that the library would be open to the public on its regular hours afterward.

Staff said the ceremony would be intentionally open to the community rather than a closed official event followed by a public opening: "We purposefully made the decision to not close the library down and hold a ribbon cutting ourselves and then let the public in... we invited the entire community to join us for the ceremony."

Commissioners reflected on the long timeline to bring the project to fruition and congratulated staff and partners. No formal board action was required; the announcement was informational.
