It's the Villages Public Library @ Belvedere
Sorry I wasn't more explicit. It's the Villages Library on the corner of Parr Dr. and Belvedere. It's across from The Villages High School.
Something just happened today to confirm my suspicion that the price of construction is out of line. There was an article in the Daily Sun stating that the city of Fruitland Park is preparing to expand. They don't have a bid yet but they expect to spend $572,700 for a total of 5,000 square feet. This will consist of two separate wings with a central courtyard. This will be more complex to build because there will be twice as many walls, two separate slabs, two roofs etc..
The Villages Public Library expansion can't be more than 3,000 square feet.
So we are talking $114.54 per square foot for Fruitland Park and $468.00 per square foot for The Villages Library. A huge difference!!!!!
