| Project Description: |
| This project is intended to enhance the Palmetto Youth Center facility in order to meet the documented requirements for the provision of programs and services to this at-risk community. Each of the programs provides measurable results and has tangible community support, yet cannot continue without specific improvements to the building. Attached please find a listing and description of programs (program funding is NOT being requested) that are offered at the Palmetto Youth Center along with enrollment information, as well as a Scope of Work for necessary repairs. Additionally, it is important to note that the Youth Center is located at the highest elevation within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Palmetto, and we are working in partnership with the local government to utilize the improved facility as a back-up Emergency Operation Center if required during flooding or other storm events. |
