City outlines Milton Community Center expansion and YMCA partnership
Summary
City staff described a proposed expansion of the Milton Community Center to add two basketball courts, an overlay agreement with the YMCA, and plans to make the facility a rated resiliency hub and hurricane-capable shelter; staff gave a cost estimate for hurricane-rated construction and shelter capacity.
City staff presented a concept to expand the Milton Community Center to include two basketball courts, a YMCA overlay and features to serve as a resiliency hub. Steven said the design aims to meet both YMCA standards and city needs, enabling the facility to operate as a recreation center and, when needed, convert to an emergency operations center and shelter.
Steven discussed shelter requirements and estimated hurricane-rated construction "is slated to be roughly 1000 dollars a square foot." He said the two basketball courts could provide shelter space for approximately 500 people, and the design will need separate secure areas for animals, medical needs and individuals in custody. The board discussed affordability, YMCA subsidies and the need to align funding and codes for the resiliency elements.
