SOUTHBOROUGH – Southborough officials and Council on Aging members recently gathered to break ground on an addition to the senior center.
According to a press release, the addition will be 700 square feet and will provide the senior center with a lounge area and additional activity space for programs at the center.
This project was a major goal of the Council on Aging. The addition moving forward is due to the support from the Select Board, Advisory Board and Facilities Director John Parent.
The addition was funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds. According to the release, Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School students will be providing a large portion of the labor.
“This is the ultimate COA intergenerational program with our young people providing facilities for the town’s senior residents,” the release said. “It provides a good working experience for the students and, at the same time, saves the town considerable labor costs.”
The goal is for the project to be completed early next year
