Roosevelt Park requests $775,000 to modernize 1977 community center used as polling place
Summary
City officials said Roosevelt Park's 1,700-square-foot community center—used as a polling precinct and community hub—needs roof, window, HVAC and ADA upgrades and requested $775,000 because local revenues cannot cover the capital cost without cutting core services.
Rep. Snyder presented a $775,000 request for the City of Roosevelt Park to rehabilitate its community center built in 1977. A city representative said the 1,700-square-foot facility serves as the municipal polling place, hosts senior programs and community events, and that HVAC inefficiencies currently cost the city about $20,000 to $25,000 per year to heat and cool.
Officials said the building needs window replacement, roof work, and ADA upgrades for restrooms. The city noted its total annual general-fund revenue is roughly $1.4 million, making a cash-based capital project of this size locally unaffordable without external assistance. Presenters said the request is capital-only and would not fund programming.
