Project Description:
This project is for the construction of a new community center for Precinct 3. This property is adjacent to and abuts Precinct 3’s Mathews Park, and the project will connect the Community Center to the park’s existing amenities to allow for greater access to both the park and the community center. This will be similar to how Precinct 3’s Collins Park, Crosby Park, and Dennis Johnson Park operate. While not a part of the initial building development, there are plans to install a generator within six months of building occupancy so that the community center can be used as a cooling/warming center during regular hours both after a disaster and throughout the year. The community center may also be used for distributing supplies after a disaster.
New construction includes 17,325 SF community center + 161-stall parking lot with bus loading zone.
