Project Description:
The JD Walker Community Center Renovation project will modernize and rehabilitate the existing 19,000 square foot facility and include the construction of an approximately 3,500 square foot addition to accommodate a new workout and fitness area. The renovation will enhance the center’s functionality and create a more comprehensive community-focused space.
The project scope includes programming and design services, appliance upgrades, landscaping improvements, HVAC system enhancements, and interior and exterior lighting upgrades. A complete roof replacement is also planned. In addition, a parking study will be conducted to assess current capacity and determine future parking requirements.

Justification & Alternatives:
The project aligns with Precinct 2’s goal of upgrading facilities that have exhausted their useful life. The existing building needs a roof replacement, a new HVAC system, an upgrade to the electrical and plumbing, and interior and exterior upgrades. The upgrades will improve energy efficiency by lowering operational and maintenance expenses, enhance safety, and provide a safer and more accessible facility for the community.
The JD Walker Community Center carries significant value within the community. Not allowing the proposed improvements would have a profound impact on the community.
