Proposition F: Active Adult Center

The issuance of $47,360,000 of bonds for a new active adult center, and levying a tax in payment thereof. An estimated $930,000 of the bond amount will be for Public Art. 

Proposition F allocates funding for designing, acquiring, constructing, improving, equipping and landscaping a new active adults center, including acquiring land, easements, rights-of-way, and other real property interests.

Active Adult Center

The current Denton Senior Center was originally built in 1977 and was expanded in 1990 and again in 2010. The Center provides the Denton community members (ages 50+) with a fitness room, multipurpose room, woodshop and art room, two small classrooms, and social space. The current aging facility presents a number of issues, including a lack of programmable space, parking, and gym space, as well as accessibility challenges.
