Request for a Decision Regarding the Location of the new Iredell County
Library: County Manager Mashburn said there were two locations under consideration
for the new library. He said there was a site on Tradd Street near the library that was
inspected by the architect, and it was determined to be inadequate to provide a "footprint"
for a 40,000 sq. foot building and the necessary parking. Mashburn said the site was
"doable but not acceptable." He said that when the Eastside Drive property became
available the architect made an inspection and found the site acceptable. Mr. Mashburn
said this site (Eastside Dr.) could easily accommodate a 40,000 sq. ft. facility, provide
suitable landscaping areas, the necessary parking, and space for future expansion.
Mayor John Marshall, of the City of Statesville, said his council had been
approached by county officials in the past about financially contributing to the costs of
the new library. Marshall said that at one meeting, the council had declined to assist, but
later there was interest in waiting to find out the library needs. Marshall said he felt the
library should remain downtown. He said that on June 3, 2002, he proposed two options
to the city council to aid in the library's construction. Marshall said one option was to
provide a downtown site and the other was to contribute $500,000. He said the council
voted to assist in the amount of $500,000 with stipulations being (1) the city would have
input in the design and (2) the library would remain in the central business district.
Commissioner Bowles asked about the proposed site.
