Marion library project eyes updated mixed-use plan in Uptown
Marion library directors and Genesis Equities push an updated plan for a mixed-use development on Marion Square Plaza, adding a parking ramp and commercial space. The project, tied to Ryan Companies and state bonds, faces changes in state law and bidding rules that could alter lease structures and funding. The library seeks about 14 million dollars with 5 million in sales tax funds and 2.5 million from selling the current site, while facilities demand growth continues.
