Moorhead Public Library Director Megan Krueger speaks on Community Center and Public Library proposal on November ballot

(Moorhead, MN) -- Moorhead's Library Director is sharing what changes could come if city residents approve a ballot measure in the upcoming November General Election.

Megan Krueger joined WDAY's Bonnie and Friends to speak about the ballot measure which would allow the creation of half-cent sales tax. The tax would pay for the construction of the proposed Community Center and Public Library building, and would sunset either following the collection of $31,590,000 or in 22 years, whatever happens first. 

"We've heard a lot of positive feedback, really all year," said Krueger, "We've been out talking to community members in a really purposeful way all year. It's been overwhelmingly positive."

The new library and community center are tied together through the proposal, and both are tied to the half-cent sales tax. Moorhead Mayor Shelly Carlson recently spoke to WDAY Radio about the proposal, saying if the half-cent sales tax does not pass this election cycle, the community center and public library cannot go forward.
