The City of Udall has received a $440,000 low-interest loan through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of Rural Development to help with construction of a new city library, bringing a project that has been in development for years one step closer to being a reality. The USDA Community Facilities Loan, combined with a $494,000 Community Development Block Grant that has already been awarded, will help to pay for a 5,000-square-foot facility that will also provide meeting spaces, children’s reading programs, technology classes, a wellness facility and exam rooms, according to a press release from the office of Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall. The Udall Public Library currently shares space with the city’s historical museum. Once that space is vacated, it will revert back to the museum, the release states.
