Holiday Park Net‑Zero façade project advanced in CIP; county to begin construction summer 2025
Summary
Committee reviewed a Holiday Park façade and window replacement project intended to extend the senior center's life and support the county's 2035 net‑zero goal; staff noted $5,000 was spent before the CIP period and construction is scheduled for summer 2025 over an 18‑month period, while DGS said a full net‑zero retrofit would cost well over $10 million.
Staff described the Holiday Park Net‑Zero initiative as a building façade and window replacement project for the Holiday Park Senior Center, a facility that staff said serves more than 500 adults daily. The project is intended to improve the building’s longevity and support Montgomery County’s 2035 net‑zero greenhouse‑gas goal for county facilities.
Council staff noted a minor acceleration of $5,000 already spent prior to the six‑year CIP period; the packet shows construction scheduled for summer 2025 with an estimated 18‑month duration. Greg Austin said earlier in the discussion that a full net‑zero renovation would be substantially more expensive—"well in excess of $10,000,000"—so the current amendment focuses on envelope and façade work now while deferring full refurbishment to future capital planning.
The committee concurred with the executive’s recommendation and staff’s concurrence without objection.
