The Paso Robles city council unanimously voted to authorize the city manager to provide a letter of commitment for a California state grant.
The grant would fund up to five hundred thousand dollars for a feasibility study on a community resilience center in Centennial park.
Last night’s presentation by community services director Angelica Fortin said a community resilience center would provide needed infrastructure to support the community through extreme weather conditions. The center would also be built with library and recreational facilities to create a strong community hub outside of emergencies.
The study would look at centennial park’s suitability for a resilience center, as well as look into upgrading and integrating the current buildings at centennial park. A feasibility study does not guarantee commitment by the city for any construction.
