The county has proffered the land, connection to the county wastewater treatment system, leadership in the design and construction process, and support for the increased costs of operating a full-time library in Charles City County. However, the $5,000,000 construction cost is prohibitive for a county with an estimated 7,200 residents and an existing debt load of $7 million (incurred in the building of new schools and a new courthouse). That’s why we need your contribution!
