Senior Center Building Committee Update - Newsletter 6

SCBC Update

Dear residents, 

The Senior Center Building Committee is set to meet tomorrow night, Wednesday 2/23, at 6PM in Room 9 at Town Hall located at 121 Glen Road. We hope you can attend but if you can't make it, we encourage you to visit the project website for updates: https://www.wilmingtonma.gov/senior-center-building-committee. The project page includes links to the Facility Master Plan, agendas, minutes, newsletters and recent updates even include video tours of the current Buzzell Senior Center facility.  

A short time ago, the Owner’s Project Manager (OPM), P3, and project Designer, Dietz & Company Architects, presented to the Wilmington Board of Selectmen on January 10, 2022, with the recommendation from the Building Committee, that the St. Dorothy's site be developed for a new Senior Center. After discussion, the Board of Selectmen voted, 4-1, to approve this recommendation. As such, the design team has moved forward in earnest with the Building Committee. The Building Committee has been working hard, meeting frequently, and making substantial progress with each meeting.
