HOW TO BUILD A RECREATION CENTER
Lessons for Montpelier from Claremont NH
presented by Montpelier’s Jump & Splash Task Force
October 2, 2017, 5:30-7PM
Montpelier High School Cafeteria

In surveys, residents have overwhelmingly said Montpelier needs a new indoor recreation facility. But how can we really make it happen? How does a community mobilize to make the choices and marshal the resources? What is the impact of a completed facility, and how is it sustained? The aim of this event is to learn from those who have walked this path before us.

In 2013 Claremont NH opened its new Community Center featuring a competition pool, teaching pool, elevated track, basketball courts, fitness facility, aerobics room, multi-function rooms, conference room, game room, shower and locker rooms, and kitchen. Scott Hausler and Tim Hernon were centrally involved in shepherding that project from concept to completion. They will share their story and answer questions. Members of Montpelier’s Jump & Splash Task Force will also report on what they learned at an intensive workshop on recreation facility development. Discussion will be driven by questions and comments from the audience.
