The Goleta Valley Community Center, which is included in funding in the House-passed appropriations bills, has been partially closed since January. Recently it’s been used as a COVID-19 testing site.
GOLETA — The Goleta City Council will hold a special meeting on Tuesday to discuss the future of the Goleta Valley Community Center.
During the meeting, the council will discuss the results of a stakeholder and public outreach process that was conducted to gauge the community’s desire for programming and uses of the GVCC. Meeting attendees will also learn about what capital improvements are planned for the almost 95-year-old building.
Two major construction projects to improve the center are set to begin next year. One project will complete a seismic retrofit in the Auditorium and Dining Room areas, and the other project will complete Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements.
