Fitchburg plans to build library

The city of Fitchburg in Dane County took a step closer to building their first library on February 25 when the City Council approved the project, according to a Channel 3000 report. The proposed library, with a targeted opening date of early 2011, would cost $14 million, with $4 million to be raised privately. The city has requested federal stimulus aid for the library, but interim director Debra Johnson said the availability of those funds will not drive the project.
