Plans call for groundbreaking on a $275,000 Boys Club building at West Ocean and R Street in Lompoc. The 11,000 square foot facility will replace the current 901 W Ocean Ave site and include a basketball court, gym, arts and crafts area, library, kitchens, and offices. Construction is expected to take about four months with land leased from the Housing Authority. The project is nearly funded, lacking about $50,000 after three years of fundraising, and will require three full-time staff, three part-time workers, and 25 volunteers weekly.
