FELLSMERE — For years, community leaders in Fellsmere sought to create a one-stop shop that residents could use as a library as well as a community center for a wealth of resources. Now, U.S. Representative Mike Haridopolos (FL-08) is helping to launch that vision.

Haridopolos recently secured $2 million in federal funding to go toward constructing the long-awaited Fellsmere Public Library and Community Resource Center. The congressman said the new facility will be a game-changer for the small, rural town with a population of a little more than 5,000 people.
