Showers Center Public Input Session

Council Member Devyn Keith joined City leaders at a listening session at the Dr. Richard Showers, Sr. Recreation Center on shaping future programming and amenities. Dozens of residents provided input on the need for additional multipurpose rooms as well as more parking, picnic tables and bike stations. It was a great turnout, and we look forward to seeing positive changes at this much beloved center.
