The structure is completed, as well as the sidewalks around the building.
Alabastro said workers are finishing the final steps, including:

The senior center is located at 709 Municipal Drive and will include a variety of amenities, including:

The senior center has been in the works for years. It was part of the city’s 2016 bond package.
Community Impact previously reported that the construction of the facility was delayed multiple times, including a lengthy pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The city broke ground on the facility in May 2024.
