UNFINISHED BUSINESS
LOCATION OF NEW LIBRARY: Commissioner Williams said many people had
asked him about the location of the new library since the county was acquiring the Eastside
Drive property. He said some of the Statesville city officials had asked the board of
commissioners to consider other options besides the Eastside Drive site. Williams said he would
like to delay a decision on the location until the Statesville representatives could let their
thoughts be known.
OTION by Commissioner Williams to delay the decision regarding the location of the
library for 30 days or until the first regular meeting in June.
Commissioner Johnson said that if the citizens wanted the library to remain in downtown
Statesville, they needed to know the obstacles at the Tradd Street location. He said these were:
I. There would be no room for further expansion without purchasing additional and
expensive real estate.
2. The day the new library opened (downtown site) it would be without adequate
parking.
3. The property has a steep grade and the patrons would have to park on the side
which might make accessibility difficult for the elderly and young.
4. The ingress and egress on Tradd Street is less than ideal.
5. The county needs storage space and two county buildings being used for this
would need to be demolished (former maintenance building and Bryant Supply
Building). (If these are demolished something will need to be built to replace
them.)
