Frontenac to begin planning for new library
Morning Sun
FRONTENAC, Kan. — Although the project is still in its early phases and few details have been decided, the City of Frontenac is planning to build a new library thanks to a gift of millions of dollars set aside for that purpose.
“Late in 2019, we were notified that the city is the intended recipient of a large sum of money specifically earmarked to build a library,” City Administrator John Zafuta said at Monday’s city council meeting.
The money is being provided by the family trust of the Tavella family, which has ties to Frontenac, and has been distributed in phases, with the city recently receiving the final payment.
