During Monday night’s City Council work session, the Council reached consensus to have Forest Grove Parks and Recreation assume operations and management of the Forest Grove Community Center effective January 1.

Parks and Recreation will work with Centro Cultural to develop a transition plan that ensures as smooth a process as possible for facility partners and community members. Centro informed the City in July that it would no longer operate the center after December 31.

NEXT STEPS
The transition process will bring some unknowns as the City works through the details. Any decisions made during this process will be largely informed by feedback from community members and partners.
