Commission pushes for better outreach, senior programming and mobile recreation options
Summary
Commissioners urged stronger marketing and district-level registration data, prioritized improving existing facilities and senior-focused programming, and discussed exploring a mobile unit to deliver programs across Powhatan County; potential USA Pickleball grant funding was noted.
Chair Judy Cain-Oliver urged department staff to examine the recreation program calendar and geographic registration data, and proposed expanding multigenerational and senior-focused program offerings. Commissioners noted budget limits and emphasized using existing community facilities such as churches, schools, fire stations and rescue squad buildings rather than pursuing new construction immediately.
Cain-Oliver also suggested exploring a trailer or mobile unit to deliver programming across county locations and districts. John Kirkland noted potential USA Pickleball grant funding for repairs and equipment as one possible source to support facilities and programs. The Commission reiterated its priority to improve existing facilities and complete a strategic master plan before undertaking major new construction.
