A $10 million community center, designed to serve children, families and seniors from across the Kennebec Valley region, broke ground in Gardiner on Wednesday with over 100 supporters in attendance.
The groundbreaking for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Kennebec Valley center marked a milestone, after the nonprofit raised funds for over four years to build the community facility, according to a news release.
The goal of the new clubhouse is to serve more children and seniors.
The club still needs to raise $650,000 to reach the $10 million goal of its “Great Futures” capital campaign, but is moving forward with construction to better serve the community. Once built, the new clubhouse will nearly triple its capacity.
