Flower Mound officials and residents on Thursday cut the ribbon on the new Flower Mound Senior Center.
Mayor Pro Tem Jean Levenick emceed the ceremonies while attendees heard from several dignitaries along with Seniors In Motion members, supporters, and staff. After a tour of the new facility, Seniors In Motion members ended the festivities with a celebratory piece of cake.
“I can’t say enough about this council, especially Jean Levenick, who was a major inspiration for this facility,” said Denis Toth, former president of Seniors in Motion.
The $5 million, 22,000 square-foot building includes a ballroom, fitness center, classrooms, game room and library.
The previous location of the senior center next to town hall was 4,000 square feet and their membership is 938. With an additional 18,000 square feet, they anticipate a surge in new members as residents, 50 years and over, see the amenities and programs that will be available.
The annual membership fee is $10 for Flower Mound residents, and $20 for non-residents.
The facility is located at 2701 West Windsor Drive near FM 2499. For more information, call 972-874-6110.
