Last week, the Georgetown County School Board gave the OK for the construction of a new county library on property adjacent to the new Waccamaw Intermediate School.
This week, Georgetown County Council did the same.
The partnership between the County and School District calls for the District to deed one acre of land to the county for the library, which will relocate from its current location on Commerce Drive. In exchange, the county will make needed road improvements in the area by mid-June. Those improvements include turn lanes on Wildcat Way and median improvements at the exit at St. Paul and Willbrook.
The new 27,000-square-foot library, expected to open by 2016, is being paid for, in part, by a $10 million allocation in the county's Capital Improvements Plan. Other funds will come from grants and from private donations.
