DeKalb Commissioner Steve Bradshaw will host a community meeting on the proposed District 4 senior center, according to a press release. The meeting will take place 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, June 17 at Antioch AME Church, 785 S. Hairston Road in Stone Mountain.
The public is encouraged to attend and offer thoughts on the design of the building and programming services for constituents.
The senior center will be located on a 2.7-acre, county-owned parcel at 4875 Elam Road, Stone Mountain. Wood Inc., the architect of record, will be present to walk community members through their initial design ideas, get feedback and answer questions.
“This new senior center, with the added amenity of a swimming pool, is long overdue in Districts 4 and 7,” Commissioner Bradshaw said.
The energy-efficient and sustainable 21,000-square-foot proposed senior center will be a modern and functional facility that is aesthetically pleasing to the community and meets the need of seniors in Districts 4 and 7. The site will feature approximately 100 parking spaces, a covered, main entrance drop-off area, service entrance, landscaping and pedestrian plaza.
“I am pleased with the progress that is being made on the soon to come senior center. Constituents deserve a great place where they can meet, greet and enjoy themselves,” said Commissioner Bradshaw.
