Anne Arundel County – MD issued the following announcement Nov. 12.
Construction for the new center is expected to be completed by 2023
County Executive Steuart Pittman joined community leaders and state and local officials to break ground on the Severn Center, a new intergenerational facility to be constructed at 1160 Reece Road in Severn. The outdoor celebration, which featured entertainment, activities and refreshments, kicked-off construction of the long awaited $15.7 million facility.
"I committed to making this center a reality before I even took office, and I am so appreciative of the advocates who, for the last two decades, have never given up," said County Executive Pittman. "This will put young lives on a path to success and provide elderly neighbors with the quality of life that we owe to them. Magic will happen here."
"I have dedicated over 30 years of my life to building a safe place for our children and youth to play basketball or get involved in programs, but the community has seen some false starts and broken promises. Now that I see something is happening, I can rest a little easier,” said Glenda Gathers, or “Ms. G” as she is known in the community.
