Construction Update— Big News! About a month ago, our Center submitted a grant to an anonymous foundation which asked for funds to cover the costs of resealing/restriping the parking lot, construction of the new awning at our entrance, 400 new chairs for the building, and security cameras for the center. And guess what?? Our request was approved!! So be on the lookout for updates about when these new projects will be taking place!
