Senior Center
 

Has the Senior Center of the Town of Poughkeepsie fallen victim to a bait and switch?  The original plan for the Neptune Road Development included a 4000 sq. ft. Senior Center for the Town but when approving this plan at last month's Town Board meeting it was suggested that the Little White House by the Town Hall would be a better location for the Senior Center.  The reason given was that the Little White House is owed by the Town and would be a permanent Senior Center whereas the new building to be placed in the Neptune Road Development would only have a 10 year lease to the Town to be used as a Senior Center.  The new plan includes a $200,000 donation from the Neptune Road and Oakwood Commons developments to pay for a 1000 sq. ft. addition to be placed on the Little White House and to add a small kitchen and another bathroom to the ground floor.  This plan raises many questions.  Is 1000 sq. ft. big enough?  What about the Town Historian office upstairs and all the files for the CAC that are stored there?  Both the Town Historic Preservation Commission and the CAC meet in the Little White House.  What about the tiny parking lot?  Is there a plan to expand it and is $200,000 enough money?
