Not really comparable, as this reno isn't for a current library. It's the former library building, which they hope to lease out after the renovation. KPL should be judged on community benefits, while this is basically just the city acting as a developer. Not that I disagree with the project, the Carnegie libraries are definitely historically significant and I think their preservation is well justified.
I'm at my limit on free record articles so I didn't know all the details... still probably worth it as you say.
