Since when have you seen responsible spending by the cash heavy city of Wildwood? They are number one in waste.

If it's for the kids it's not a waste of money.

OP must have been awhile since you have driven by WCC, or didn’t notice.

Structure build started close to a year ago, no progress has been made at least 6 months.
By the configuration many thought it was bathrooms instead of port a potties, for the soccer fields, and the many outdoor activities the community center supports. I wouldn’t consider indoor plumbing a waste by any community.

Nor would I. Unless.......like parking spaces it costs $100,000 per stall.

Wildwood, who are fortunate that they have enough money to spend on many projects & could easily make the Town Center similar to Winter Garden ____But so far I am not impressed with their decisions.

Unlike nearby " Bellview " very similar in size who are not as fortunate, #1 Marion County.

Wildwood needs to get on track & sort out the Downtown & do the right thing in many, many areas.

As for the building on Powell Rd. It's an improvement & likely needed that particular area is very popular.
