Residents urge restoring Activity Center kitchen, making center ADA compliant

Diane Hildebrant, a Huachuca City resident, told Council she wants the Activity Center kitchen restored and the building made fully ADA compliant because the ramp does not solve accessible door operation. "Getting the kitchen back in the Activity Center, and also making the Activity Center ADA compliant," she said, asking Council to include the improvements on the candidate project list.

Town Manager Suzanne Harvey and SEAGO's William Osborne discussed whether the work would be a single application or a multi‑phase effort; Osborne recommended using State Special Projects funding for planning and engineering to produce shovel‑ready designs so later regional CDBG funds can be used for construction. Manager Harvey noted a modernized Activity Center could generate revenue through rentals and expand services for seniors and children.
