Endwright East Active Living Community Center will open June 18 in the old Payless in the College Mall. This facility is dedicated to providing community space and programming to seniors of Bloomington. It is the first facility of its kind to open since 2009 according to a Bloomington press release.
The center is supported by a grant from the City of Bloomington’s Jack Hopkins Social Services Funding Committee with the support of the city council.
