The new senior center has received approval for its Conditional Use Permit and Environmental Impact Report. There has been a legal challenge by a citizen’s group, but the City is still proceeding with the project. The city is currently working with a consultant on the plan to create an enhanced habitat on the five acres to the north of the proposed senior center. Both sites, the senior center and the enhanced habitat, are proposed for undeveloped park. Makar still has the responsibility to design and build the senior center to city specifications

General Information

On November 7, 2006, voters approved the construction of a new senior center in Huntington Central Park (HCP). The building will be approximately 45,000 square feet, which is equivalent to approximately one acre. The entire site, including landscaping, building, and parking, will encompass five acres. The five-acre parcel is located on an undeveloped section of HCP that is fourteen acres in size. The proposed site is on the west side of Goldenwest Street north of the HCP Disc Golf Course.
