Olathe will begin construction this month on a new four-story library building — with an exterior of stone, masonry, glass and custom brick — that’s viewed as a catalyst for the revitalization of the city’s downtown. The new library also will complement the Indian Creek Library that opened only two years ago on the east side of town. “We are excited and anxious to see the downtown library come to fruition,” Mayor John Bacon said in a news release. “This project encompasses so many of the objectives we have set forth in our growth strategy. Much time and energy has been put in thus far, and the result is a genuine and meaningful piece of Olathe that will stand the test of time; an Olathe icon in the making.”
