Corona's Settlement House renovation revitalizes community services and history

Residents of Corona will soon see revitalized community services as the City Council recognized the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce's Executive Leadership Roundtable (ELR) in restoring the historic Settlement House. Originally built as a kindergarten in 1910, the Settlement House has a rich history, serving as a vital resource for the community, including providing bathing facilities for those without running water in the 1920s.

During the recent City Council meeting, a council member expressed gratitude for the ELR's dedication to the project, highlighting the successful renovations that have breathed new life into the building. The ELR has updated the paint and signage, enhancing the structure's visibility and appeal. This initiative not only preserves a piece of local history but also reinforces the city's commitment to supporting organizations that serve the community.

The Settlement House has been a cornerstone of support for residents for over 120 years, and its continued presence is a testament to the city's dedication to community welfare. As the renovations are completed, residents can look forward to a revitalized space that honors its historical significance while continuing to provide essential services. The council's acknowledgment of this project underscores the importance of community engagement and the ongoing efforts to enhance local resources.
