Senior center: Expansion considered Continued from Page 1 izing and interacting with other people. Otherwise, they can become isolated in their homes. Many are single, or widows, with limited contact with others.” The city has no current plans to expand the commu- nity center, said April Clark, Warrenton’s finance direc- tor. “Funding would have to come from somewhere else.” The task force toured As- toria’s senior center, which is open six days a week and brimming with classes in line dancing, exercise and yoga, plus activities such as mov- ies, bridge, mahjong, bingo, creative writing, crocheting and shopping trips. There are computers, pool tables and reading nooks. “If it ever came to fruition, it would pale in comparison to what they have in Asto- ria,” Mellison said. “It’s way beyond what we’re envision- ing. … They told us 15 to 20 percent of members come from Warrenton already. I’m very uncertain in my mind if we could compete with them, No. 1, and if we want to.” The task force plans to study both the feasibility and the need. Then it would seek funding, perhaps a Com- munity Development Block Grant, a federal program that combats blight and supports affordable housing, public infrastructure, seniors and those who are poor or dis- abled. “That’s how we got the community center and Head Start building,” Gramson said. “Our meals program has been very successful. It’s one of the very few in the state that’s self-supporting.” Warrenton Senior Citizens Inc. has money in an ac- count from a participant who left a legacy endowment to the organization. The fund of $30,000 has grown to $38,000. AGENDA WARRENTON URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY June 26, 2018 – 6:00 p.m. Warrenton City Hall – Commission Chambers 225 S.
