Joyce Community Center Plans

Mayor Hopkins provided this update on the town's plans for the new community center space (the former sales center for The Commencement). Many of amenities and appliances will be donated to the town by The Commencement and reused to enhance the new community center. Here are the current plans from the mayor. We'll get photos posted as the work progresses.

I am attempting to round up a plumber and electrician in an attempt to make the kitchen and bathroom functional. The Commencement is currently having their engineers review the load on the wall where the kitchen currently sits. The plan is to move the kitchen and all the fixtures (donated by The Commencement) into the northeast corner of what used to be the bedroom. The kitchen island will move into the former bedroom as well.

Then the wall that currently has the kitchen against it will be removed – leaving us with an open meeting area. The double doors will be moved to seal off where the former bedroom – now our kitchen – will be. That way during meetings or events the kitchen can be sealed off from the meeting room. They will be leaving the gas fireplace that would be wonderful to get plumbed and vented. The wall that currently hides the stage will we removed and the storage areas to the east will remain for storage of tables & chairs etc…

We are hoping to have everything completed and ready for us by the end of July. This is going to be a first class meeting facility and the possibilities for the space are endless.

Good. It is refreshing to see your administration actually working with the commencement- in stead of fighting with them and having no solutions.

You're going to make it after all.
