Truitt Street Community Center expansion now underway

SALISBURY, Md. – Growth is on the horizon for the Truitt Street Community Center, as an expansion project is now underway.

We’re told it’s thanks to funding from both the state of Maryland and city.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Maryland is also a partner.

Phase 2 of the project will include the creation of additional teen and youth programming, a kitchen space, and classrooms.

Salisbury Mayor Jake Day says the goal is to give local youth more safe spaces that they can call their own. “Giving them a safe place to be where they can have people that care about them, homework help, and recreation. Just the chance to fellowship with other kids in a place where they don’t have to worry about their safety, I believe is ideal and that’s where we’re headed,” Mayor Day said.

Mayor Day tells 47ABC construction is expected to be completed by late Spring.
