U.S. Representative Angie Craig Secures $750,000 to Make Farmington’s Community Center More Accessible
The plaza serves as an important community gathering space for Farmington residents, particularly senior citizens
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Angie Craig secured $750,000 for the City of Farmington to complete the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Rambling River Center and Exterior Plaza.
The current Rambling River Center and Exterior Plaza is regularly utilized by Farmington residents – and particularly Farmington’s senior community – to gather and hold local events. Over the past year, Rep. Craig pushed to secure this funding to update the community center’s accessibility features and ensure the center is a safe and inviting space for all Farmington residents.
“Improving the safety and accessibility of Farmington’s Rambling River Center and Exterior Plaza will make sure Farmington residents of all ages are able to enjoy this community space for years to come,” said Rep. Craig. “I worked to secure this funding to ensure the community center can be used by every Farmington resident and I look forward to visiting once the project is complete.”
“Our community in Farmington is tight-knit – so it’s essential that our city has a gathering space that is welcoming and inviting for every single Farmington resident,” said Farmington Mayor Joshua Hoyt. “It was great working with Rep. Craig to secure the funding critical to constructing a new-and-improved community center for our city. I can’t wait to see it in action!”
In 2017, the City of Farmington completed a community study to learn more about how this space could be updated to improve its function and efficiency and provide a safe and organized amenity, especially for Farmington seniors. With this funding, the city will be one step closer to providing those critical updates – which will allow for additional interior and exterior senior programming, increased safety and accessibility features and space flexibility.
