Summary
Westland Park Community League is an active community association serving the community in and around the Westland Park subdivision. Each year they continue to open their hall to community groups and re-occurring rentals. As the facility ages, components are beginning to reach the end of their lifespan. The original flat, tar and gravel roof has been patched over the years and continues to leak and damage the interior of the building. They are looking for funding support to install a pitched roof and build a small (720sqft) addition. By installing a pitched roof they hope to eliminate the issues of water; and of trespassers on the roof while improving the esthetics of the overall hall. The small storage room addition would improve the usability of the hall for current and future renters and programs. By completing the addition at the same time as the roof they hope to see a slight cost savings on the overall renovation. Westland Park Community League has secured $42,000 from AGLC through the casino fund and will also be applying for CFEP funding for the balance of the project. Further details on the remainder of the request can be found in the Administrative Report which is attached.
