Council on Aging hears update on senior center renovation; contractor hopes for mid‑July completion
Summary
Meeting heard a construction update: interior walls upstairs will be opened to create larger rooms, exercise and game spaces consolidated, and a wider doorway at the elevator planned to improve wheelchair access; contractor Laura Stockfish reported a mid‑July target.
Pam, a Council on Aging member, said she spoke with Laura Stockfish and that construction has begun after a recent walkthrough. She reported that walls upstairs will be removed to create larger rooms, exercise equipment will be grouped, and the game room will combine the pool table, ping‑pong and card tables.
"She's hoping mid July, it should be done," Pam said, reporting Laura's timeline and noting the project could slip. The meeting record also notes a planned widening of a doorway adjacent to the elevator to improve wheelchair clearance.
Council members raised accessibility concerns. A member noted the building is "handicapped accessible by the state, but the state regulations and when you actually have somebody in a wheelchair trying to get through are two different things," and said the contractor is taking that into consideration.
Discussion only: no final occupancy or sign‑off was recorded in the meeting transcript. Staff said they will continue monitoring progress and relay updated timelines to the council.
