Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The two projects total roughly $96.9 million in 2023 bond funds; separate sites carry higher operating costs than a joint facility.

✅Who benefits

Seniors gain a larger, centrally located, transit-accessible center; south-side residents gain a closer library.

⚠️Who could be affected

Some current South Branch Library users who walk to the existing location will lose that convenience.
