The City of Tallahassee continues making progress on transformative infrastructure projects, many of which begin construction this year. Among the numerous projects coming to fruition is Tallahassee's second senior center facility.To celebrate the start of construction for the new center, the community is invited to attend a groundbreaking event on Wednesday, May 1. It will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Welaunee Boulevard at the site of the future building. Parking will be available at nearby District 850 (2662 Fleischmann Way) with shuttles to the site beginning at 10 a.m.
This new, additional facility will be built on six acres of land in the Canopy Development. The 40,000-square-foot building will house a double-size multipurpose gym with six indoor pickleball courts and two basketball and volleyball courts. The space will also accommodate table tennis and fitness classes. The Lifelong Learning wing will offer educational classes, art programs, cards and other games, and health and wellness opportunities. Senior Services participants provided feedback that was incorporated into the design of the facility.
Since 1978, Tallahassee Senior Services has operated primarily from the historic armory building on North Monroe Street. Today, the building is nearly bursting at the seams as Senior Services staff and volunteers coordinate nearly 200 activities a month and host programs that serve approximately 500 people a day.
