County senior center plans continue

Members of the Sturgis City Commissioners are continuing work on a joint agreement for a new St. Joseph County senior center.
The city has agreed to lease land near Doyle Community Center to the St. Joseph County Building Authority for $ 1 per year for the next 50 years to provide a site for the new center.
The lease makes the county responsible for all costs associated with the center, including construction and all ongoing maintenance of the building and grounds. Any future alterations to the building in excess of $25,000 must be approved by the city in advance.
Design work is continuing and no final costs or groundbreaking date have been announced yet.
