Village of Fall Creek Awarded State Grant of 4.25 million for New Library Building Project

The Village of Fall Creek proudly announces that it has been awarded the highly competitive Flexible Facilities Program Grant of 4.25 million from the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), Division of Energy, Housing, and Community Resources. This funding will support the Village’s new public library building project. Announced on October 7, 2024, by Governor Tony Evers, this grant helps bring the library’s vision of an expanded, modernized facility closer to reality.

The Flexible Facilities Grant is designed to fund projects that help communities adapt to post-pandemic needs, including enhancing access to work, education, and healthcare services. The new Fall Creek Public Library will offer expanded internet access, designated spaces for remote work, online learning, and telehealth services. The updated facility will also feature accessible meeting rooms and technological resources supporting these essential services, ensuring that Fall Creek area residents can stay connected and thrive.

Our library has embarked on an ambitious project to revitalize and expand our facility to better serve the needs of our community. This project is a significant undertaking that will shape the future of our library and have a lasting impact on our community for generations to come.

For over 60 years, the library has effectively served our area. Its mission is “to serve community residents of all ages by providing materials and services that meet their educational, recreational, and informational needs.” The library’s vision is to be the welcoming heart of the community, where all may come to discover, connect, and create.” The library urgently requires more space as the current space is only 1/3 of the minimum recommended size, according to the Wisconsin Department of Instruction, Public Library Space Needs. Currently, with just 3,000 sq. ft. of usable space and restricted digital connectivity, the library has been striving to innovate and address residents’ needs.

3/18/2026 Building Update

Great progress is happening at the new library building!

The cement has been poured, many of the big, beautiful windows are now in, and the HVAC system is going up. Next up—framing!

There’s so much progress happening, and it’s all starting to feel very real (and very exciting!) We can’t wait to keep sharing updates as this space comes to life for our community.

2/13/2026 Building Update

We stopped by the job site this week, and it’s exciting to see just how much progress has been made! The building is nearly fully enclosed, and the brickwork is almost complete—an important milestone in bringing this project to life.

With warmer weather right around the corner, we expect to see a lot of movement and visible progress in the coming weeks. Every visit makes it easier to imagine the finished space: more room to read, learn, gather, and grow together as a community.

This new library will offer expanded space for programs, collections, and community connection—and seeing the walls go up makes it all feel very real. We can’t wait to share more updates as Fall Creek’s investment in the future continues to take shape.

Stay tuned—there’s so much more to come!
