SeniorsPlus will break ground on a new education and nutrition center at 10 a.m. Thursday, August 28, at 14 Mollison Way, adjacent to their main office at 8 Falcon Road. The public is invited. Refreshments will be provided, including pastries made by the Meals on Wheels kitchen of SeniorsPlus.
The new facility will help fight isolation by increasing socialization, access to food, and access to education and digital resources. The 12,000 square foot structure was designed by Adam Lemire of the Auburn architectural firm of Platz Associates. The builder is Lajoie Brothers Construction of Augusta and Brunswick.
“The new education and nutrition center is urgently needed to provide a crucial space where our community can connect, find purpose, and access essential resources,” said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, President and CEO of SeniorsPlus. “This center will not only strengthen our Meals on Wheels and nutrition programs, but it will also combat isolation, offering a place for individuals to engage, build friendships, and continue learning.”
