MEETING DATE: JANUARY 19, 2021
SUBJECT: NAMING OPTIONS FOR FORMER SENIOR CENTER BUILDING
RECOMMENDATION: Presentation to Council on naming options for the former senior center
building located at 421 Church Street.
FUNDING SOURCE:
BACKGROUND: This project will rehabilitate the former Senior Activities Center building
into a multi-purpose space for recreational programming and citizen use.
The former Senior Activities Center building located at 421 Church Street
has been an asset to the City of Grapevine providing quality programming
since the 1970s. Later, the building was expanded to serve the growing
needs of the community. Then the idea of a multi- generational center,
The REC of Grapevine, was conceived and all services were consolidated
into one facility in 2015. The Senior Activities Center building was then
leased to First United Methodist Church for mission and outreach
services.
Now that the City has again acquired the building, it will gain a new
purpose serving the residents of Grapevine with rental space, office space
for Parks and Recreation Events staff, and programming specifically
geared to children's theater with our new partner, OhLook Performing Arts.
Programs will include music, theater, acting, vocal, dance, tap, ballet, film,
prop building, and culinary to name a few.
