Study underway on receation center
Grand Junction residents can expect to be asked about their vision for a possible community recreation center in the coming months.
People for Local Activities and Community Enrichment (PLACE), a grassroots organization, and the city of Grand Junction have partnered to pursue a feasibility study for the project. The $50,000 study is funded by grants.
“It’s an opportunity for Grand Junction to tell us what they want in a community recreation center,” said Marty McDaneld, a member of PLACE.
Ballard King is the consulting firm, and Sink Combs Dethlefs is the architecture company conducting the study.
The seven-month process should provide insight into several potential locations, a market analysis and opportunities for residents to weigh in with their ideas about a facility.
“This would put prices on different things, and also get a feel of what kind of costs people are comfortable with,” McDaneld said.
