Plans advance for Northside senior youth center in Aiken
Aiken City Council approved a concept design for a combined senior youth center at Eustis Park on the Northside. The plan includes a meeting room, full kitchen, and permanent home for the Council on Aging, with a committee to study projected costs and potential joint activities for seniors and students. The project faces a $4.7 million cost, with $4.5 million already allocated from Capital Project Sales Tax rounds II and II, though final expenses may shrink with cost-saving furnishings and equipment.
