Senior Support Center Readies for Expansion

Crews will break ground Thursday on a project to nearly double the size of the Fitzgerald Senior Day Support Center on Hodencamp Road.

Once expanded, the center, run by the local nonprofit group Senior Concerns, will serve 80 elderly clients who require some assistance and supervision during the day, but do not live in nursing homes.

The $1.8-million addition, which will include a 10,300-square-foot mission-style building with landscaped patios, is expected to be completed by mid-2002.

The center will continue to operate during the expansion, officials said.
