(KNZA)--The recently closed Elwood Leisure Hour Senior Citizens Center will re-open next month.
The Doniphan County Commission agreed this week to re-open the center on May 16th after meeting with Elwood City and Riverside USD 114 officials.
Nancy Drake has been hired to serve as the new site director.
The status of the senior center will be reviewed again on August 29th. It was the noted that a key to the site remaining open is for the census to average ten seniors who eat noon time meals daily.
The Commission also discussed the 2016 lease agreement for the building housing the senior center with Riverside USD 114 Superintendent Mike Newman. The Riverside school district owns the building.
It was agreed that Doniphan County would only be responsible for repairs to the kitchen area, including electrical and plumbing, used solely by Doniphan County Aging Department.
