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.

After gathering the broad public input, the design team translated the feedback on materials and functionality desired and created a library design that aligns with the community’s priorities. This was a tall task. Our community asked that the library be the 3rd Place which is the intersection of home and community, where everyone is welcomed. The 1st and 2nd place is typically home and work/school respectively.

The library vision word cloud came directly from the community, they continue to be engaged online and offline. We had workshops with Mayor’s Teen Council and with the Citizens Design Committee, gathered feedback from our senior community, conducted community fun day to gather input from all ages, hosted drive thru Feel Good Fridays where the community gave us feedback on the top priorities for the library and park and hosted pop up surveys at the parks throughout Cedar Hill to get feedback.
