macinc.org

Construction of a new senior center in Westover is set to begin next month finishing the renovations at the former elementary school.

Currently, it’s being used by several Somerset County agencies.

This week County Commissioners opened bids for the project with costs ranging from just over $1 million to $1.23 million.

The 74-hundred square-foot space will become a new MAC Center for seniors from Crisfield and Princess Anne.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the county has gotten $600-thousand from the Commission on Aging and another $600-thousand from the Community Development Block Grant.

The county is kicking in $100-thousand for the project.
