THE COST: The project’s estimated cost is $12.3M.
THE FUNDING: The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) grant cuts that cost down to approximately $7.8M . The Tilton Fund’s capital campaign will decrease the amount the town must finance by $2M, bringing cost down to approx. $5.8M. And the library will get another state grant for being a LEED certified (energy efficient) design, in the amount of $100K.
FUNDRAISING STATUS:
The Tilton Fund has embarked on a capital campaign. To date, $1,644,422- in gifts and committed pledges – has been raised toward the campaign’s $2 million goal. The Tilton Fund is also pursuing grant opportunities. These funds will further offset the cost of the project to Deerfield’s taxpayers. The more we raise, the less taxpayers have to pay!
