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.
