State Senator Cathy Young says three public libraries in Chautauqua County will be receiving construction funding through a $14 million capital fund appropriation secured in last year's state budget.
The Mayville Library will get $181,582 for a meeting room addition, installation of a handicapped-accessible restroom, replacement of a roof on an existing building, and parking lot renovation. The Ashville Free Library will receive $61,156 for vinyl siding, insulation, and construction of a new front entrance for the building. And the Lakewood Memorial Library will get $7,351 for a new sign.
In addition, all public libraries in Young's district will receive a $2,700 grant from this year's state budget to support valuable library initiatives and help meet basic operational expenses.
