Caldwell County Public Library to receive state funding for project

During his Team Kentucky update Thursday, Governor Andy Beshear announced 12 Kentucky projects will share $8.5 million to improve communities across the Commonwealth.

One of the recipients is Caldwell County Fiscal Court, in collaboration with the George Coon Public Library, who will receive $750,000 to help build a new multipurpose learning and performance center at the rear of the library. 

The new addition will feature a large meeting area equipped with partitions to allow separate events to be held at the same time. 

It will be complete with a computer lab and an auditorium with theater-style seating.
