The idea for a new facility came to light after talk began about repairing Hamilton's current senior center, with is located across the street from City Hall.
Mayor Steve Woodruff says it would cost a lot of money to restore that building because of its small, narrow rooms and the fact that it is not handicapped accessible.
He says that turned the discussions towards a community center, which could replace the senior center and also be used for reunions, receptions, or meetings.
Woodruff says a number of locations were explored... with the best being the old ambulance property on 18th street.
