BUILDING ADDITION UPDATE
The Huber Heights City Council has entered a contract for the building expansion with Reco
General Contracting ($321,000).  Ground was broken on Monday November 24th.

Due to building construction please use caution when driving into the parking lot, especially
around the back corner by
TitleMasters and when walking in the parking lot.

Some handicap parking spaces may be lost at times; please leave these slots for those that
really need them the most.

A drawing of the new addition is available on the next page.

July 2008
On Monday, July 21st the Huber Heights City Council entered a contract for the design of
our building addition with Brightman & Mitchell Architects, Inc. at a cost not to exceed
$31,200.  (See July 23rd
Huber Heights Courier for full details.)  Also, the grant was
recently approved for the parking lot expansion.


January 2008
WOW!  The year 2008 will be a great one for the Huber Senior Center. Construction will
begin on the 28% expansion to our center, and, with any kind of luck, finish in 2008.  
According to Huber Heights Assistant City Manager, Jim Bowers, construction should begin
just as soon as the weather improves. He announced at our General Membership meeting,
in December, that the Huber Heights City Council is not only putting in its budget for 2008
the same $50,000 that was allocated last year if a grant was obtained, it also is providing
an additional total of $300,000 for our expansion plans. The city only is asking our center to
pay $25,000 for the architect’s final plans. After Jim had made his presentation at our
meeting, someone in the back commented that he could not hear what Jim had to say. Jim
summarized his presentation by simply saying, “You get the money.” What better news
could our center receive?

Jim also told us that next year the city plans to apply for a Community Development Block
Grant to improve our parking lot and purchase furniture for our expanded center.  Let us all
hope that this application will be successful. Don’t forget that the plans for our expansion
are posted on the wall in our center. Check them over to see what great things will happen
this year.
