Funding to complement rising construction, labor costs<\/em><\/p>\n

The Fitchburg Public Library announced it will receive approximately $1.5 million in additional funding from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC). The additional funding will help offset the rising construction and labor costs currently being experienced throughout the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one of only 10 other libraries receiving this additional funding throughout the Commonwealth, we are grateful to the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and our local legislators for seeing the value our renovation and construction project will bring to the community,\u201d said Fitchburg Public Library Director Deb Hinkle. \u201cWe appreciate the MBLC\u2019s continued support to ensure our library will remain sustainable for years to come. We are also grateful to State Senator John Cronin and State Representative Michael Kushmerek for working alongside other Massachusetts legislators to advocate for this additional funding.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funding, which supplements the $12.5 million total grant award from the MBLC through the Massachusetts Library Construction Program, will support the $40 million renovation, modernization and expansion of the library. Ten libraries in the state were awarded the additional funding as a result of adding 15% to the total eligible cost used to calculate the current grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program is pleased to partner with local communities, like Fitchburg, using state funding to make building and renovating libraries possible,\u201d said MBLC Director James Lonergan. \u201cIn the 35 years since the program\u2019s inception and the more than 200 communities that have benefited from it, we have not encountered circumstances like those brought on by the pandemic. The additional funding recognizes those circumstances and further supports Fitchburg\u2019s project which will bring economic, social, cultural, and educational opportunities to every resident of the community.\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Fitchburg project is expected to begin later this year.<\/p>\n
