– Velma Pena said seven years of headaches are now being met with hope regarding the Las Palmas Library renovation project.
After securing new funding for the project, the San Antonio Public Library is looking to revive some of the scaled-back renovation plans at its Las Palmas location. SAPL secured $385,000 in additional funding, now increasing the total project budget to $6.4 million. The funding comes from two sources. The H-E-B Foundation donated $250,000 to name the new expansion of a 2,000-square-foot community gathering space. The remaining $135,000 comes from a Federal Appropriation initiated by U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro to help construct the new Learn at SPL site at the branch.
Now, after securing this new funding, the board recommends adding back the solar shade system, meeting room support space, and certain landscaping features.
