Douglas County Parks & Recreation Commission and Senior Services Advisory Council is having a public forum on Jan. 26 at 6pm at the Douglas County Senior Center at 2300 Meadow Lane in Gardnerville to discuss the new senior center in the Carson Valley.

A significant amount of work has been done by various community groups and advisory boards leading up to this meeting to determine the various needs and uses of the facility. Now that the project is moving forward to construction, a final process has been initiated to ensure the community has an opportunity to weigh in on the design prior to the development of specifications. Construction of the facility is anticipated to begin by early 2013.

The facility will be located at Herbig Park next to Lampe Park in Gardnerville.
