The first three years of the foundation has been spent in identifying donors and collecting funds and pledges. The foundation also has worked with the city to identify suitable property to build the recreational center, identify community needs through public meetings, and develop the initial plans for the facilities. During the fiscal year ended 6/30/24, many community meetings were held to discuss the services that will be offered by the wellness center and how future TAX and membership revenues will be assessed for continuing operations. The board is working with consultants in not only obtaining funds and pledges from potential donors, but identifying a location with potentially favorable TAX credit and federal funding opportunities,assessing environmental impacts of the proposed location, responding to community concerns through attendance at city meetings, prepared several press releases, commenced a feasiblity study,prepared and distributed a community-wide survey, and securing the services of the general contractor. Assuming the final funds are pledged, the construction will begin in the fall of 2024.
