Although phase one of the plans for the senior center is in motion, the city is still looking for funding to start phase two once phase one is completed, said Meriden City Manager Brian Daniels. Recently, the committee designated 116 Cook Ave. as the site for the new senior center. However, before construction can begin, the existing structures on the property must be demolished, and necessary site preparations must be completed to prevent flooding. Phase one of the project involves the removal and reconstruction of the Hanover Street Bridge and Butler Street Bridge, with completion expected by spring 2027. The project is backed by $16.8 million in funding, and LaRosa Construction began working in October.
