A little over a week after hearing the big news that the City of Tracy will receive $500,000 in grant money to put toward the new community center, members of the Community Center Workforce Group met for a little over an hour Wednesday to discuss the next step in turning an existing building into a public showcase and something all residents can use.
The Minnesota Multi-Purpose Community Facility Projects grant money comes in the form of reimbursements and must be used on community center projects only. Its purpose is to support community revitalization, connectedness and equity by promoting education, work and health. The target for the money is the former ADO building on South St. which the City recently purchased from a private owner.
Wednesday’s discussion hit on items such as parking lot work and how current issues there will be addressed, what can and can’t be served out of the catering kitchen, and roofing issues and concerns.
