A controversial plan to renovate the existing senior center at 24 W. Main St. is back in the spotlight after the City Council recently voted to send it back to committee. The Senior Center Building Review Committee rejected the proposal two months ago and opted to hold out for a new $36 million facility at 116 Cook Ave. However, that plan has been significantly delayed by flood control and dredging work, estimated to cost an additional $10 million. After surveying seniors and selecting the Cook Avenue location, the committee discovered last fall that design and construction could not begin until at least 2027. The project had initially included a new Health and Human Services Department but after learning about the delays, health department and city officials agreed to rehabilitate the agency’s offices on Miller Street.
