Community Center Study Presentation 1

This City of White Plains, NY meeting held on August 1, 2025, focused on presenting a feasibility study for a new community center intended to replace the current subpar senior center and consolidate various city programs. The city engaged consultants from Labella Associates to analyze existing facilities, assess space needs, and gather community input through surveys, stakeholder interviews, and public meetings. The study evaluated current leased and city-owned properties, their limitations, and potential new sites, including a city-owned downtown location and a former Walmart building. Public feedback emphasized the need for a multi-generational, accessible, and inclusive center with flexible spaces, wellness programs, educational workshops, and technology access. While no specific procurement decisions or contract awards were made during this meeting, the feasibility study and community engagement efforts are foundational steps toward future capital improvement projects and potential construction contracts for the new facility.
