UVALDE — The Lower Colorado River Authority has awarded a $100,000 community grant to El Progreso Memorial Library to support facility upgrades aimed at expanding educational, cultural and community services in Uvalde County.
The funding will support the library’s Next Generation Project, an effort to expand and modernize the facility that has served the community since 1903. The LCRA grant will be combined with more than $2.6 million raised through private foundations and individual donors to transform the library into a modern community hub focused on learning, cultural preservation and connection.
Planned improvements include construction of a new meeting room with a teaching kitchen, expansion of museum and archives space, an updated teen makerspace, upgraded security systems, and an outdoor interactive learning area for children.
