Construction of new Brookhaven and Ellenwood libraries can finally move forward after a 10-year wait.

The DeKalb County Commission voted 7-0 Tuesday to spend $19 million from 2005 bond proceeds on libraries, parks, sidewalks and other infrastructure projects.

The unanimous decision came as a result of a deal to fully fund projects approved by voters and give $1 million to each commissioner's district for public facilities in their areas.
