This building was donated to the City of New Haven and as such carries a restriction that the building remain a recreation facility. The City of New Haven’s intent is to incorporate this facility into the plan as a final phase of this overall project. The facility use is undetermined as this time and how it will fit into the project. Funding is expected through the NSP III program and leverage of public funding.
