Approval for the Community Learning Center took a brief setback Tuesday after the Greendale Village Board tabled a resolution to establish governance of the new facility.

Village Manager Todd Michaels recommended trustees table the resolution Tuesday because there were some wording changes made by the Greendale School Board. Although Michaels said the wording changes were fairly minor, he said they were significant enough to have them go back to consideration to the other governing bodies involved in the project.

Greendale Schools, the Village of Greendale and the Greendale Public Library announced a partnership over the summer for the construction of a new, mixed-use facility to be called Greendale Community Learning Center (CLC).

Under the plan, the Public Library, the Health Department and the Park and Recreation Department would be housed under one roof in the current public library building at 5647 Broad Street.

The board approved the conceptual plans of the learning center in July, which includes turning the Greendale Public Library and multi-purpose building into the learning center. The center will also house the village’s parks and recreation department, moving it from the Greendale School District offices.  

Construction of the facility is anticipated to begin possibly in January with completion in June.
