It seemed the shoe was on the other foot during the March 13 Recreation Centers of Sun City exchange meeting.
During the board’s Feb. 23 business meeting when a motion was passed on a first reading to suspend the project to rebuild Mountain View Center, 9749 N. 107th Ave., The majority of residents who spoke opposed the proposal. But during the March 13 exchange, that was flipped, with the majority of speakers supporting the delay.
Through a series of public meetings and committee work dating back to 2017, a plan was formed to demolish the 56-year-old campus and rebuild it. The plan approved by the board in 2021 was to include a performing arts center, large multi-purpose gymnasium and a resort-style pool in the first and second phases of the project. Architects are now working to finalize detailed plans and ground was expected to be broken in early 2024.
