Years in the making, the San Carlos neighborhood of San Diego is one step closer to expanding their library. 📚
In 1995, former District 7 Councilwoman Judy McCarty secured a lease with the option for the city to purchase the lot for $150,000. Due to the environmental impact of the gas station, the city was not able to fully purchase the property or start to build anything on it until full cleanup and mitigation of petroleum substances had been finalized.
"The San Carlos neighborhood has waited for a new library for decades- -and at last, we're taking a huge step towards getting that done," Campillo said during a Saturday morning news conference at the site. The next step in the process is to close the funding gap to complete the design and construction of the new branch. The city allocated $5 million in 2024 from locally collected Development Impact Fees, which are being used as a local match for a state library grant that could potentially provide an additional $10 million, according to a statement from the city.
