LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. — Manatee County officials broke ground alongside the construction company slated to build a new multi-million library in Lakewood Ranch.
Manatee County Libraries will have a new branch come 2024 as community leaders held a groundbreaking ceremony for the $20 million East County Branch Library.
The 50,000-square-foot will include a rooftop terrace to grab a nice breath of fresh air while overlooking the planned Premier Park.
“This is yet another big step in our five-year capital improvement plan,” Manatee County Government Administrator Dr. Scott Hopes said in a press release. “It’s good to see it coming out of the ground.”
Fawley Bryant Architecture and Willis Smith Construction will build the seventh full-service branch of the Manatee County Public Library System.
