The Montopolis Recreation and Community Center has been completed on time and within budget after Austin voters approved funding in 2012.
"This new facility replaces the former recreation and community center, which served the community for more than four decades," the city said in a press release. "The prior facility was in poor condition and could no longer meet the needs of a growing community. The new facility provides 33,000 square feet of new space, recreational uses, public health services, educational programming areas, a commercial kitchen and more."
The construction was managed by Austin Public Works. The building will be operated by the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
"For the health and safety of residents, the new building is not yet open for public use. However, a video premiere showcasing the project is available which features interviews with project staff, community members and city official," the city said in the press release. "We are offering virtual interviews by request to speak to the delivery of this project, the recreational uses, and the services that will be provided to the community."
