This project will bring new opportunities for businesses, families, and the entire community. Construction is now underway with theGrand Opening set for 2024. #BuildingOurFuture
Background Information In November 2017, voters overwhelmingly approved a bond proposition to fund a new public library that would meet current and future needs for businesses and entrepreneurs, children and teens, and the broader community. The new library would be four times the size of the existing building and provide for new technology, flexible program space, and community meeting rooms.
In 2018, the City Council appointed a Site Advisory Committee to evaluate potential locations for the new library. The committee recommended the library be built adjacent to the new signature park near Pioneer Trail and Uptown Blvd. The Library, Museum and Signature Park site highlights the natural beauty of Cedar Hill. The site backs up to Bentle Branch creek with unique topography and natural amenities. The project, located in the heart of the Midtown District, will serve as a catalyst for high-quality pedestrian-oriented development that offers unique shops, dining, cultural attractions, and living opportunities.

Library staff put on their hard hats to visit the site of the new Library, Museum & Signature Park! It was neat to walk the path of the future trail. Recently over 700 yards of concrete was poured and more progress is on the way!
