Pascagoula's New Senior Center Coming

PASCAGOULA -- Progress is moving right along for senior citizens to move into larger digs.

The facility located on Delmas Avenue in Downtown Pascagoula has long become too small for crowds of up to 60 residents who often fill the building intended to house about 40 people at a time,  center director Melani Caver told www.wlox.com

Sylvia Hall reported on seniors' anticipation of a new 14,000 square foot facility, which will be built on east Live Oak Avenue on grounds of the former public housing known commonly as Carver Village. The building is expected to be completed by fall. 

Residents who regularly participate in activities at the Pascagoula Senior Citizen Center are excited about the new building, which will include game rooms and new kitchen. The city's Program Manager  Jaci Turner said the new facility is an opportunity to meet the needs of its older population.
