Bristol Twp Senior Center Set to Open at the of December, Planned Renovation of Old Center to Fire Rescue Dept Close Behind
The brand new home of the Bristol Township Center is near completion and could perhaps open its doors officially before the year’s end with the township fire department not too far behind, officials said.
At the end of December we’ll have the seniors move in and the renovations at the firehouse can begin, township manager Randy Mazur said.
The groundbreaking for the new senior center was slightly more than 14 months ago.
Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) secured a $4 million Community Project Funding (CPF) grant to establish a new, state-of-the-art center adjacent to the current center at the municipal complex on Bath Road last year.
State Rep. Tina Davis secured $2 million to further fund the project.
Davis, said the seniors in her district (Bristol Borough and Bristol Twp) are of the “up most of importance” to her and that she was “proud to secure the funding for the new facility.”
The new facility will provide a safe, healthy environment where senior citizens can access professional services and engage in enriching activities and programming, local, state and federal officials have said.
After the center is completed, township manager Randee Mazur said, the current facility will be renovated into the township fire and rescue station, further enhancing services for the Bristol Twp community.
Township Fire Marshal/Fire Chief/Emergency Services Coordinator Kevin Dippolito said recently that he and his staff are truly looking forward to moving into the new station when it’s complete.
Currently the space he and his staff currently occupy barely has enough space for him to hold a full staff meeting so we’re really looking forward to the move, said Dippolito.
