If you ever visited the Villages Library you would know that there were no overly expensive features about it. The exterior was designed to look pretty much like a nice house with a front porch. Very nice but certainly not overly expensive. And the interior was basically very plain. So this new addition will match what was already there, as far as quality goes. That means nothing out of the ordinary.

I've been to the Fruitland Park Library and it's a very nice library, totally on par with the Belvedere Library. I don't see how anyone can justify the Belvedere library costing roughly 4 times more per square foot.
I was unable to find this information, could you point me to the info?
