PM <br />EDGEWOOD COMMUNITY CENTER <br />The New Brighton Community <br />Center Task Force will outline <br />needs and seek community <br />comments at that time and place. <br />Looking at trends, program <br />participation and other <br />recreational facilities, the <br />Task Force has projected needs <br />fora community center which has <br />these multi-purpose components: <br />COMMUNITY SPACE <br />o Social Hall <br />o Kitchen <br />o Meeting Rooms <br />o Club Rooms <br />o Education and Crafts <br />o Games <br />o Museum <br />RECREATION SPACE <br />o Gymnasium & Exhibition <br />o Running Track <br />o Exercise <br />o Dance <br />SERVICE SPACE <br />o Delicatessen <br />o Child & Adult Care <br />o Travel Services <br />o Health Information <br />Special facility programs were <br />also noted as meeting some needs <br />depending on financing and <br />support. A community swimming <br />pool -and ice arena fall into <br />this needs category. <br />A proposed National Guard <br />Headquarters Company armory <br />would share gymnasium, class <br />room, weight room, lecture hall, <br />lockers, rifle range and kitchen <br />on 300 days a year. To secure <br />the proposed armory, the City <br />would have to provide land at <br />no cost to the Army and 12.50 <br />to 20% of the construction cost <br />(preliminarily estimated to be <br />$6 million) depending on <br />additional City facilities <br />desired. <br />The needs analysis will be <br />forwarded to the City Council. <br />The Council will decide whether <br />or not to proceed to examine <br />financial feasibility and select <br />an appropriate location. <br />TASR FORCE LOORS AT PRESENT AND <br />FUTURE COMMUNITY CENTER NEEDS <br />How do we know that 10 years <br />from-now a community center will <br />still be used? .Well, first of <br />all you survey the citizens of <br />New Brighton to see who would <br />use such a facility right now, <br />and then you look at <br />demographics, participation <br />characteristics and population <br />trends to determine future use <br />potential. <br />The Task Force sent surveys to <br />over 100 organizations active <br />in the New Brighton area to <br />determine what kinds of needs <br />they have for a community <br />center. An earlier survey of <br />households was combined with <br />population characteristics ~o <br />define current demand. <br />
