St.Joseph Community Center—Original Bonding Description The construction of the St.Joseph Regional Community Center has been a goal of our community for many years. In early 2005,former St.Joseph Mayor and State Representative Larry Hosch formed an exploratory committee to investigate the feasibility of designing, building, and maintaining a regional community center to support the social needs of area youth and the recreational needs of area senior citizens.The benefits of such a community center have long been supported in research that suggests that community-based, after school and summer programs reduce risky behavior in pre-teens and teenagers. Further research indicates that the aging baby-boomer population seeks active, educational, and civic minded resources to fill their increasing free time. The mission of the St Joseph Facility Committee is to design, build and operate a multi-purpose facility designed to meet the social, recreational, and leisure time needs of all age groups,with a diversity of programs and events to support the greater St.Joseph community. It will include an indoor activity center in the City of St.Joseph. This community center will be strategically located to afford youth easy and safe access, and provide them with a diverse array of quality programs. Included will be programs for senior citizens and unique opportunities for mentoring area youth. Building the Center: The center will be a single-story, approximately 28,100 square foot building of meeting and activity space. The City has contacted architect (Hagemeister and Mack) and construction management firm (RA Morton) to aid in both design and construction, as the project moves forward. Funding: We anticipate the cost of just community Center construction to be$4.7 million dollars,with a portion of this fee covered by our local half-cent sales tax fund. Funds for the SJCC will come from local half- cent sales, local fund-raising and city financing. This will include community fundraisers, support from the business community,foundation grants,federal grants, state bonding and matching funds Jobs: Our construction manager estimates that we could expect approximately 120 people/construction workers that would be involved throughout the various stages of the project. Running the Center: The community will operate with local city support and will be managed by the local citizenry. Programs will be designed for seniors, students,working adults with programs through the aid of the College of St. Benedict and St.John's University, as well as providing meeting spaces for community groups, etc. Site: The site currently selected for the St.Joseph Community Center is adjacent to the Wobegon Trail,which also provide for significant recreational opportunities to persons in and out of the City of St.Joseph area. By constructing the SJCC on a site near the Wobegon Trail Head,the city leverages the trail's natural attraction.
