$1.65 Million Northdale Recreation Expansion Focus of Upcoming Talk

Northdale residents who want to find out more about what’s in store for the community’s recreation center as a $1.65 million expansion gets under way are invited to come out and talk March 21.

Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation department staff will be on hand from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. that night to discuss plans for the center. The meeting takes place at 15550 Spring Pine Drive and is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the proposed project.

Plans for the project include construction of a 9,000-square-foot addition. The cost for construction is estimated at $1.5 million. The site work will cost the county about $150,000.

Money for the capital improvement project was set aside last September when the county approved the budget for this fiscal year.
