COSTA MESA
The City Council decided recently to enlarge the city’s senior center, although officials are not sure when the project will begin.
While the council agreed the 19th Street facility does need more space, it asked senior center officials for specific information about how they would help share the cost of construction and fund the expanded programs.
Alan Meyers, the center’s executive director, asked the city for $500,000. He said the money, along with $250,000 to be raised by the center’s grant writers, would help fund the center’s much-needed 7,000-square-foot, two-story addition.
The enlarged facility would provide more space for classes, two additional health clinics (the center has just one) and a full-time computer learning center.
