Curry approves capital improvement plan for senior center

The Curry County Commission on Monday unanimously approved an infrastructure capital improvement plan for the La Casa Senior Center.

Ben Roberts, public services director for Curry County, presented the resolution to commissioners.

“The due dates for the ICIP’s have been moved up with the senior center being due on May 15 this year,” Roberts said.

Roberts said the resolution included for the commission to approve the La Casa Senior Center’s ICIP for the years 2026 to 2030.

According to documentation the plan included:

• Outdoor recreation improvements for $200,000.

• Senior passenger van for $85,000.

• Kitchen hood replacement for $10,000.

“It is a requirement to get a resolution in support of the senior center’s plan before submitting it,” Roberts said.

Roberts said the outdoor recreation improvements are considered “broad language.” He said the senior center is hoping to get covered picnic space, a pickleball court and extended fencing.
