Endicott Library Project
Endicott Library - front
The Endicott library is extremely popular but it faces a number of serious issues that need immediate attention.
Thanks to $76,500 in grant funding from the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Division, the town of Endicott is making plans to move forward with the renovation of their library with an expected total cost of $125,500.
The USDA award is comprised of two grants including an Economic Impact Initiative Grant for $50,000 and a Community Facilities grant for $26,500. Community Programs Director Peter McMillin announced the award in a letter to town officials dated June 8.
Additional funding for the project has been secured by The Friends of Whitman County Library from a number of agencies including an Inland Northwest Community Foundation grant of $30,000, an Avista Grant of $7,500 and $11,500 from the Endicott Community Dinner and Friends’ fundraising drive and raffle.
Mayor Verne Strader and officials from the Town of Endicott will be meeting over the next few months to discuss bidding schedules and other specifics for the project.
