North Greenwood Partnership arrives

The public is invited to celebrate the new North Greenwood Partnership — the Boys and Girls Club of the Suncoast, the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood Family Center, the Clearwater Public Library and the Clearwater Police Department — at 5 p.m. Monday at the North Greenwood Recreation & Aquatic Center, 900 N Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. Interior renovations were made to accommodate the partner agencies at the center. Two exterior spaces were enclosed. This project will also allow additional revenue from partner agencies and an annual operational savings, for a combined savings of approximately $200,000 per year to Clearwater. The city will continue to operate the facility and each agency is responsible for their individual programming. The celebration will begin with a welcome by Mayor Frank Hibbard at the open house. Information will be distributed about services that are available. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call (727) 562-4852.
