This project provides for the design and construction of a library located in Clarksburg, as outlined in the Clarksburg Master Plan, and appropriate to the needs of the community.

Design development will begin in FY24, and construction will start in FY26.

The Department's Strategic Facilities Plan (1998 - 2003) recognized the need for library services in the Clarksburg area, including a needs assessment completed in 2001. The Department confirms that the Clarksburg area continues to meet the criteria for a new facility, as outlined in the Department's Facilities Plan 2013-2016. The Clarksburg population is expected to increase from 13,766 in 2010 to almost 40,000 by 2025. The closest library is the Germantown branch, which opened in 2007. The library will serve as the community connection hub to ideas, learning, and the exchange of information. It will improve the community through facilitating knowledge creation, informing the community, and inspiring lifelong learning and collaboration.

Dedication of a 1.1 acre site was approved by the Montgomery County Planning Board on July 23, 2015 as part of the developer Third Try LLC's design for the site plan for the unbuilt portions of the Town Center on the east and west sides of the development. Pending evaluation of a Program of Requirements, a more refined cost estimate will be provided. Associated parking will be provided by the developer.
