The City of Anna Celebrates the Groundbreaking on the Community Library & Plaza
On Saturday, January 27, Mayor Nate Pike, community members, and city officials gathered for a special groundbreaking ceremony. This ceremony marked the start of construction for the new state-of-the-art public library and community center located in the downtown plaza, right in the heart of the city. A vital feature of this new plaza will be this modern library that will serve as a hub for learning, interaction, and community growth. Moreover, it will be seamlessly linked to the municipal campus plaza. This connection will help to form a unified community center for the city, fostering a sense of unity and togetherness among the residents.
The library will include a multipurpose meeting and classroom space. The amenities outside the building are the community plaza and children’s play area with well-defined landscape and hardscape.
