In a recent government meeting, officials discussed significant upgrades to the 400 wing of a local facility, which has been under project Y for several years. The renovations, which include asbestos abatement, electrical upgrades, HVAC improvements, and bathroom renovations, aim to bring the entire space into compliance with current codes. The area, approximately 3,600 square feet, will remain separate from other sections of the building, with potential plans for rental use by the district still under consideration.
The meeting highlighted the positive developments surrounding the gymnasium, where the original flooring has been a concern. Mr. Johnson noted that the introduction of a new padded floor for gymnastics aligns perfectly with the needs of the program, creating a win-win situation for both the gymnastic team and the facility's overall functionality.
Additionally, discussions included the ongoing efforts to accommodate displaced groups seeking space for their activities, with staff actively working to find suitable arrangements. The collaboration has reportedly led to increased revenue opportunities and overall satisfaction among stakeholders regarding the new arrangements.
The board also moved to approve a lease agreement for High Flyers Gymnastics, contingent upon the approval of the New Mexico State Board of Finance, marking a significant step forward in the facility's development. The meeting concluded with a sense of optimism about the future of the space and its potential to serve the community effectively.
