Community Center Feasibility Study
For the last two years, the City has been conducting a feasibility study and developing plans to bring a Community Center to fruition. Based on input gathered through surveys, focus groups, and a resident-led Steering Committee, the following amenities rose to the top:
- Indoor Recreational Swimming Pool
- Double Court Gymnasium
- Indoor Walking & Jogging Track
- Large Community Room & Kitchen
- Reservable Gathering Space
- Weight & Cardio Spaces
- Group Exercise Room
In recent months, the City has been working on developing potential building designs. The Parks Advisory Committee and City Council were excited to review the designs that were based on the input the City has received by the community. We are excited to share a sneak peak at the early designs.
At the same time, the City Council has selected a location and is in the final stages of securing property for the community center and a future community park.
