Capital Project Description: Currently, Frederick County has four senior centers: Frederick, Urbana, Emmitsburg and Brunswick. Each senior center is severely constrained by limited physical space which restricts the Division ¶ s ability to serve the needs and interests of the burgeoning older adult population. Frederick Senior Center is the largest with 10,644 net square footage, a former house of worship renovated in 2003. In addition to the senior center, the Frederick location also houses the Senior Services Division staff, the Resource & Service Navigation team and the Nutrition Program team, a total of 21 staff, utilizing over half of the available physical space. Urbana Senior Center has 3,000 net square footage, and housed within the Urbana Library. Emmitsburg Senior Center has 1,590 net square footage, housed in the basement of Emmitsburg Community Center. Brunswick Senior Center has approximately 600 net square footage, and is a renovated house owned by the City of Brunswick. The older adult cohort in Frederick County far exceeds current senior center capacity at a time when volume and longevity are producing greater demand for programs, activities, resources and services. Approval of the CIP request is the initial step to build for the future and a commitment to meeting the needs of the older adult cohort.
