Pocan Tours Future Site of Reedsburg Community Center
MADISON, WI – Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) joined Reedsburg City Administrator Tim Becker to tour the site of the new Community Center in Reedsburg. This important center received $220,000 in funding through the recently passed government funding bill.
Rep. Mark Pocan said, "I was proud to advocate for the Reedsburg Community Center and secure $220,000 for this facility. Community centers provide a safe place for all ages to enjoy and are often the heart of many smaller communities. I want to thank Tim Becker and the leaders here for bringing this project to my attention."
City Administrator Tim Becker said, "With the strong growth in the City of Reedsburg it became evident that we were running short on community space. We appealed to Congressman Pocan for assistance to help us develop an abandoned elementary school's gymnasium into a Community Center. This proposed Center would provide much-needed all-ages public recreation space for our community. Mark stopped by to tour the area and was enthusiastic to help. Having this funding will help to make this Community Center a reality as it supports Pickleball, volleyball, and basketball as well as general recreation. This location is only a block away from our Boys & Girls Club and next door to our Public Library. Mark's commitment to our community made this project happen."
Construction has already begun at the new location. Thanks to this critical funding, the new community center is projected to open its doors to the community as early as next year.
