Longmeadow Adult Center construction nears completion MassLive.com 2/24/2021
LONGMEADOW Construction on the $14 million Longmeadow Adult Center project is nearly finished.
After first breaking ground in July 2019, the build should be completed within a month, said Marybeth Bergeron, who chairs the town’s Permanent Town Building Committee and sits on the board of directors for the Longmeadow Council of Aging.
“We can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” said Bergeron.
The project, she says, is about eight years in the making. The biggest challenge in the project was securing funding and finding a site that the town would approve, she said. Several proposals were considered before the Greenwood Park site was settled upon.
