Site Considerations - Cross and M location
- Central Location - near geographic center of town, very visible and "on the way to other stuff"
- Busy Intersection - two arterials with signalization - both north/south and east/west
- Adjacent to cross-town bicycle and pedestrian trail
- Excellent public transit service - city transit center across the street & planned inter-modal transit center just one block away
- Located in the Downtown Redevelopment District
- New senior low-income housing planned to the immediate south of site
- Near lots of retail (fast food, grocery store, drug store, video store, etc.)
- Near other governmental services (post office and DMV office)
- Not too far from several K-12 schools
- Near several service retail and professional service offices
- Potential catalyst to further planned development along the trail corridor
- Reasonable property costs and site preparation expenses
- Large enough site (2.9 acres) to accommodate building we need, sufficient parking and possible future expansion
- Cornerstone of a competitive State Library Bond Act application - no weaknesses
