Originally slated to open in 2016, we fast-tracked the project. The City-Parish Architectural Selection Board selected an architect (Richard Brown of Bani Carville) who began work in January. He has completed the concept and schematic design phases of the project. We are in design development now and expect to complete this phase of the project in the next 2 months. At that point, the architect will prepare the construction documents and the City will put the project out to bid.
We expect to break ground in the spring. This branch will be called the 'Fairwood Branch.'
