Most Recent Update:

October 2009
The City of Kenmore continues to assist with KCLS’ effort to relocate the Kenmore Post Office to make way for the new Kenmore Library. The City previously moved out of the former City Hall to allow the Post Office to move in. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has identified a cost range for relocation, which KCLS agreed to cover. The contractor for the new Library may be able to start demolition next month if everything goes accordingly. Twenty-two bids on the project were received in October, all of which were considerably below the amount KCLS had budgeted for construction.
