New library seeks bids later this month
The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area
Bids for a new $1.6 million McGirt-Horton Library in Greensboro will go out later this month, and officials will celebrate the library’s future at a ceremony at 4 p.m. Thursday.
Sandy Neerman, the library’s director, said plans call for a new 10,000-square-foot facility at the front of the Renaissance Shopping Center in northeast Greensboro that will be build to LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, standards.
Mayor Yvonne Johnson and City Councilwoman Goldie Wells are scheduled to attend the ceremony at 2509 Phillips Ave.
The McGirt-Horton Library first opened as a one-room community reading station in Claremont Courts. It opened in a new storefront location at Renaissance Shopping Center in 1989.
“This new building is a result of a lot of hard work by organizations and individuals in the neighborhood,” Neerman said.
