The Fletcher Cove Community Center sits on a blufftop with magnificent views

New Foundation Seeks Funds for Community Center Renovation

12/10/09 - The newly established Solana Beach Community Foundation is launching a fundraising campaign to help with the renovation of the Fletcher Cove Community Center. The building, a WWII Army barracks that was moved to this bluff-top location decades ago, needs to be brought up to current ADA standards for accessibility, including changes to the parking, bathroom and other areas.

The Center will also be updated with new green building features that meet LEED standards for energy efficiency and livability. A more open design will capitalize on the outdoor spaces and the expansive ocean views.

Although the City of Solana Beach will fund some of the improvements, private donations are needed to complete the project as planned. (The Foundation is a private group, not directly affiliated with the City.)

“In the best-case scenario, we’ll get this built in a couple of years,” said Mayor Tom Campbell, who serves on ad hoc committee guiding the project.

To raise awareness, the Foundation will place an insert in the newspaper and erect a sign on the project site depicting the design.
