Knox Clerk-Treasurer Jeff Houston updated city council member about the ongoing renovation project at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center at this week’s meeting.
Clerk-Treasurer Houston said the project is nearing completion, with just a few minor things remaining. He noted that they will, of course, still have to deal with upkeep and maintenance but for the most part, the major renovations are all finished.
During Tuesday’s meeting, he informed them about the function behind the most recent addition.
Houston told members, “If you’ll notice on the east side of the Community Center there’s a small retaining wall that they’ve been putting up the last couple days and they finished today [Tuesday].” He continued, “That is to keep dirt and stuff from washing down on to the sidewalk so hopefully that will kind of clean that up. We’re going to put some mulch in there and hopefully spruce that up a little bit.”
During this process, the facility has also received upgrades to the floors and roof and a new HVAC system was installed.
City officials report that the Nancy J. Dembowski Center can be rented for various events from birthday parties to company luncheons and everything in between. For more details such as rental rates, seating capacities and contact information click here.
