Kinross Kettle River - Curlew is proud to commit $1 million to support a new multi-use facility in Republic, bringing together a library, community gathering space, and a licensed childcare center.
This project, led by the Friends of the Republic Library in partnership with the City of Republic and other regional organizations, will create a first-of-its-kind space to serve residents across Ferry County. From access to education and technology to safe community space and childcare for working families, this facility will help meet some of the community’s most critical needs.
Currently, there are no licensed childcare facilities in Ferry County, meaning many families must travel long distances or find alternative solutions. This project will help change that.
Kinross’ contribution represents the largest private investment to-date and helps position the project to successfully secure additional state and federal funding.
“We are proud to support a project that will create lasting benefits for local families, strengthen community connections, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the region.”
— Gina Myers, VP & GM, Kinross Kettle River Operations
Kinross is grateful to be part of a strong community partnership working to make this vision a reality.
