New site for Elwood Public Library to be chosen

Wednesday, 28 July 2010 18:14

The Gosper County Commissioners held their monthly meeting on Monday, July 26th 2010 at the courthouse. At 10:00 a.m. the commissioners met with Jill Dolberd, Review and Compliance Coordinator from of the Nebraska State Historical Society. Several interested people were on hand to here what Dolberd had to say about the proposed Elwood Public Library being constructed on the courthouse lawn area.

With the Gosper County Courthouse being listed on the historical register, the first undertaking is to help look for alternative places that the proposed building for the library could be built. If the public still wants to go with the proposed site, following an environmental review, the building to be erected must be ascetically pleasing to the historical building, which can result in added expense on the new building.
