The New York State Legislature provided an appropriation of $14 million in capital funds for public library construction in the 2007-2008 State Budget. (These funds are separate from the annual $800,000 allocation for public library construction.) Libraries could apply for a construction grant that could fund up to 50 percent of a project. The minimum grant award was $2,500 (for a total project cost of $5,000 with matching funds from the library). The New York State Library awarded 177 Public Library Construction Grants to public libraries and public library systems.If you have questions about the construction grant program or application procedure, please contact your public library system. Some of the library names below have links to more information about that library's construction project. |
