Arcadia could build a multi-purpose Senior Citizen Center for $1.5 million plus the cost of the property, according to a report submitted to the City Council by Warren Shaw, chairman of the Arcadia Senior Citizen's Commission. The report indicated that most of the money would come from state and federal sources, but that Arcadia would need to chip in at least $225,000 of matching funds. The center is necessary, Shaw said, due to a current lack of senior citizen facilities.

Two years of delays may soon be over and construction can begin on a 100-unit senior citizen housing project for Arcadia. The only problem currently standing between the developer and construction of the project at 645 West Naomi Avenue is written assurance that modification to the building plan does not require changes in the foundation.
