Wasilla AK to Purchase Shopping Center for New Public Library Site

Currently, the city of Wasilla AK is planning to purchase the Meta Rose Square in order to build a new Wasilla Public Library in the near future.  The Meta Rose Square is an indoor shopping center that is conveniently located at the center of downtown and Wasilla has signed a purchase agreement for $1.5 million, which is below the building’s assessed value.

Wasilla AK officials say that the existing public library is too small to accommodate the needs of the city and plans to build the new library include converting the shopping center to a library that will be 2.5 times larger.  The good price for the building comes with conditions from Meta Rose owners Harold and June DeArmoun which enforce that the entire building must be used as a public library and that Meta Rose remains in the name somewhere.  The city plans on giving retailers to the end of next year to find a new location for their stores before any changes will be made to the center.
