ABOUT US
The new Community Center will be a state-of-the-art facility where all community members will be welcomed. We can’t wait for YOU to join us!
THE DESIGN
FIRST FLOOR
SECOND FLOOR
THE LOCATION
The Fairmont Area Community Center will be located on the land between State Street and Johnson Street. The lot is next to Mayo Clinic and close to Fairmont Jr/Sr High School.
This site is centrally located within the community and is close to many other community amenities and resources. Additionally, the land is to be donated by MCHS Fairmont, and has basic infrastructure already present which saves on project costs.
The central location will make the Community Center easily accessible to the entire city, while drawing visitors to the parks, restaurants, attractions and other businesses in the heart of the Fairmont.
