A preliminary drawing of Hamilton's potential community center.
Mayor Steve Woodruff says the idea has progressed from a new senior center into a nearly 7,000 square foot facility, possibly on the old ambulance building property.
He says there is a need for a large multi-use facility in Hamilton, but the estimated price tag is more than $400,000.
Woodruff says the city wants to bid the project, to get a solid figure, and then decide where to go.
Woodruff says responses to the proposed center, thus far, have been more negative than positive.
Some seniors worry that closing the senior center on Broadway will limit their ability to socialize and could impact meal services.
