Washington Holdings and CamWest are currently coordinating site plans with KCLS and City of Duvall representatives. The City Council is anticipated to approve the site plan this Fall. Due to the development schedule, construction work on the new Library will not start until the necessary infrastructure (i.e. roads and utilities) is completed. KCLS will continue to work closely with the City on this development.

Planning for the new 8,000 square foot Duvall Library is underway. The $4.39 million new library will include more materials, computers, space for children and teens and a community meeting room.

Expected Construction Start Date: 2009
New Library Address: 14810 Main Street (possible Big Rock Road location under zoning review, currently with Duvall Planning Commission)
