An upcoming project at the Lacey Senior Center will soon double the size of the 5,000-square-foot facility, increasing capacity in the kitchen, dining and multi-purpose rooms, and creating additional space for senior health, education and other services. Construction activities are expected to be underway in April, 2012, with completion anticipated in mid-2013.
The building, which opened at its Woodland Creek Community Park location in 2003, has experienced dramatic increases in demand — from 257 members during its opening, to nearly 1,700 senior patrons today.
Lacey received $1 million in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the $2.7 million project. The recent award marks the seventh time Lacey has benefited from the block grant program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered locally by the Washington State Department of Commerce. Prior projects included construction of the existing senior center, the Lacey Child Care Center, and several low-income housing rehabilitation and preservation projects.
