New Weld senior center to be dedicated Tuesday

GREELEY — A dedication ceremony will be Tuesday for a new senior center in the Hill-N-Park neighborhood outside Greeley in unincorporated Weld County.

The 2,800-square-foot, wood-framed building at 4205 Yosemite Drive, which replaces a previous modular structure that was demolished, includes a multi-purpose room, commercial kitchen, dining area, library, office and activity room. Greeley-based Roche Constructors built the new building, developed the site and added a new parking lot.

The Weld County Area Agency on Aging secured a grant to demolish the old senior center and construct the new one. The county partnered with Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity, which managed the center’s construction. Ground was broken last Aug. 1 for the new building.

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

The ceremony will be held from 9 to 10 a.m., and those attending will have the opportunity to tour the new facility.

According to Greeley-Weld Habitat CEO Cheri Witt-Brown, “The new Hil-N-Park Senior

Center will be a strong start to help bring crucial support to the neighborhood. Seniors will have a place to gather and fellowship with food, activities and fun.”

The center also will be available to be used by other community residents.

The Hill-N-Park subdivision was built from 1966 to 1973 and includes around 800 residents.
