SUMMARY
Community members and elected officials have long held the dream of building a new South Hayward Youth and Family Center at the corner of Tennyson and Ruus Roads, referred to as the Stack Center. For the past seven years, the City and its partners have worked to make this dream a reality. The construction documents for the Stack Center are nearing completion, though a large funding gap remains to build the full project. This staff report is requesting Council’s authorization to accept $1 million in grant funding from the State of California for the first phase of construction, which is the renovation of the Matt Jimenez Community Center to create childcare spaces, an entrepreneurship space, outdoor spaces, and parking.
