The Fort Collins Senior Center, 1200 Raintree Drive, will break ground on the much anticipated expansion on October 19 at 3:00 PM at the Senior Center. The Expansion will consist of a 17,000 square foot addition to the 40,000 square foot facility. Completion of the project is expected in summer of 2014. The Neenan Company has been selected as the Design-Build contractor for the project. Conceptual drawings and floor plans include new amenities including a cardio fitness room, wellness center, dance and exercise studios, and multipurpose room modifications. A reception will be held following the ceremony. Tours to see what improvements and new facilities will be added to the facility will be available.

Western Night Out will continue the day’s festivities with a chili tasting from the cooks of the Colorado Chili Pod, beer tasting from Wilbur’s Total Beverage, prime rib dinner from the Sundance Steakhouse and Saloon and entertainment from the Kathy Connolly Band.
