A new beginning in London officially got underway on Friday, March 27, as demolition crews began work on the former London Hodges Community Center.
Since opening in 1998, the facility has served as a vital hub for the community, providing essential services and resources to residents for more than two decades.
The milestone follows a demolition and groundbreaking ceremony held the week prior, which brought together key community partners and leaders, including representatives from the Tulare County Sheriff鈥檚 and Fire Departments, as well as Tulare County Supervisor and 9i果冻制作厂, Inc. Board Member Eddie Valero.
The redevelopment is made possible through funding from the Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency via ARPA support. The new mobile facility will expand the center鈥檚 footprint to approximately 1,440 square feet and It will feature two private offices designed to support mental health and other services requiring confidentiality, enabling partner agencies to utilize the site to deliver services within the Community of London. Additional improvements include an indoor restroom and full air conditioning, creating a more comfortable and functional environment for both staff and participants.
Support for the project also includes collaboration with the Tulare County Housing Authority, which is assisting with exterior improvements, including restroom facilities and site maintenance.
During construction, Connie and her team will continue serving the community from the LCAPP buildings located across from the London Market in the center of town. The new center is expected to open this summer, marking an exciting next chapter for the London community. Further updates will be shared as progress continues on this project.
