The Emporia Recreation Commission’s Rec Center Steering Committee has a meeting with its architectural partners set for Monday.
BG Consultants of Emporia and Kahler Slater of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will meet with the committee to discuss an updated project schedule before confirming workshop and community engagement locations and finalizing details for the first engagement session, which could take place as soon as Aug. 13. Conversations are also planned on “benchmarking” the facility list, aquatics matters and other forward-looking steps.
The meeting will be at 3 pm at Mary Herbert.
Steering Committee Chair Erren Harter has said the board is looking at a facility to replace the Lee Beran Recreation Center at 313 West Fourth simply because it has less than half the size needed for current and future public recreation sports, activities and programs. Harter has said the facility is also inefficient to maintain.
