Peachtree City to weigh library canopy grant that would leave city with roughly $374,000 match
Summary
Council was told the city will apply for a library grant covering half the cost to replace a roughly 25-year-old canopy and add a skylight; the city’s share was estimated at about $374,000 and will be considered Nov. 20.
At the Nov. 6 work session, a city official outlined a planned application for a library grant to replace an exterior canopy and add a new skylight at the Peachtree City library.
The official said the existing canopy has been in place about 25 years and is deteriorating. "We're going to apply for a library grant so that we only have to pay 50% — the 50% match to get a new canopy in, and in addition, new skylight," the city official said, and identified Library Director Jill Prouty as having provided details. The official estimated the city’s portion of the project would be about $374,000.
Why it matters: The canopy and skylight are part of building maintenance that affects library patrons and facility longevity. A successful grant would reduce the city’s share but still require a significant local match.
What’s next: Council will consider the grant application and the city’s match requirement at the Nov. 20 meeting.
