It may seem 'over the top' right now, but I recently spoke to an instructor for a very popular dance program who said she had to wait for Eisenhower to be built, so I am sure it will get the proper use when it is finished. More and more people need more and more space to do their thing!

You do realize that the planned rec center will only be about 60 x 100. take out the restrooms and storage, there will not be a lot of room left. Some people have homes larger than that. What bothers me the most is that Lambrect is the only AAC member who looked at the present building and he voted no. The hired inspector also gave an opinion that the AAC should not make the purchase. The AAC did not do any of the necessary homework, went ahead against advice of the inspector and paid $350.000 for a building that needs to be demolished (at a cost to the AAC), does not have parking (parking is property of the present rec center). so basically they paid this huge sum for a spot of ground. The final blow is the AAC also spent a lot of time considering a restaurant in the present building but evidently had overlooked a provision in the sales agreement that the building COULD NOT be used as restaurant.
