Potomac Community Library to Gain Outdoor Addition

• The following is news from Woodbridge district supervisor Frank J. Principi's website, New Woodbridge. 

The Potomac Community Library was designed in 1974 with the building oriented around an open area of lawn with a small concrete patio. This project will develop an area behind the library that is currently used only infrequently. The goal is to increase the use of the library as a “community center” and become a destination point for residents in keeping with the renaissance of the local community.

The Plaza will be an elegant setting designed as an extension of the library and will serve as an outdoor room. This area will provide an environment that invites both active and passive use. The Plaza will support events and planned activities as well as act as an attractive, compelling, and engaging area for individuals of all ages. Not only will it provide a stage for community interaction, but will offer introspective spaces for individual uses and become a destination for families and individuals of all ages.

This project is scheduled to be completed by June 2012.
