Center Mission
The Community Center group
goal is to provide a facility in the Annandale area that would be available for
the general public as well as the school district for the purpose of leisure,
health promotion and civic meeting space. The group has been working on a
Community Survey to gather specific direction from citizens regarding amenities.
This phase is nearing completion and they will be moving on to seeking funding
sources.
Community Survey Results:
At
a community meeting in August 2003, an overwhelming majority of citizens
expressed interest in the possibility of building a community center.
The
following was discovered.
