We’ve seen tremendous use of the building, with members and guests taking full advantage of the gymnasium, walking track, and fitness area, along with all the programs and activities offered at the Community Center.

A future solution could involve a joint effort between the federal, state, and local governments; and the administration will keep us updated with the ongoing review.
