Photos: Progress Continues On Molino Library, Tax Collector Office

May 30, 2012

Progress is continuing on a $4 million project to convert the old Molino School into a community center and museum.

The project includes the conversion of the old Molino School into a 15,600 square foot library, community center and museum under a $2.95 million construction contract awarded by Escambia County to Birkshire Johnstone, LLC.

In addition to converting the 72-year old school building, a new 7,000 square foot building is being constructed adjacent to the old building for the tax collector and property appraiser. The current Escambia County Tax Collector office in the former Winn Dixie shopping center in Cantonment and the property appraiser office on Highway 97 in Molino will both be closed. The facility will also house a polling station for early voting and elections.

Final completion for both buildings is scheduled for November 2012.

    A picnic/park pavillion area would be nice too to have piknicks or birthday parties and not be charged…….have museum things out back too look at also

    A track for running and walking so you don’t have to worry about being run over by log trucks and speeding cars. Basket ball court ok but not really sure how many of us country folks are tennis players.

    I agree Brett. Hopefully that is something that will be added in the near future after the buildings are completed.
