Ribbon-Cutting To Open Renovated Senior Center In Carmel

CARMEL, NY – The official opening of the newly renovated Carmel Friendship Center is scheduled for Dec. 19. In addition to a ribbon-cutting, there will be a tour of the new facility.

A vision, collaboration and a lot of hard work have afforded the Putnam County Office for Senior Resources the opportunity to provide a beautifully renovated senior center in the Carmel area of Putnam County, County Executive MaryEllen Odell said in the announcement. Through the efforts of former State Senator Terrence Murphy and current State Senator Pete Harckham, grant monies were procured through the State and Municipal Facilities Program administered through the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York totaling $1,000,000. Additional funding from Putnam County along with the workmanship of the personnel from Putnam County’s Department of Highways and Facilities made it all possible.
