COMMUNITY CENTER DEBT RETIREMENT FUNDRAISER
The Community Center has been open since 2013 and is a great asset for the community and surrounding area. The Center is used for benefits, meetings, community celebrations, wedding receptions, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. To date the operating expenses have far exceeded the revenue. The city is also concerned that as the building is aging major repairs will be needed. This has and will be a cost borne by the city. So, if the city can make early payments on the building loan it will help tremendously in the future.
The original loan for the Community Center was $415,000. The city has made extra payments on the loan in the amount of $115,420 in addition to the annual payment. The extra payments have been made possible by using Liquor Store funds and other generous donations. The principal balance owed has been reduced to $218,698 as of December 31, 2024; instead of $350,473 as it would have been if no extra payments had been made. The extra payments have saved $165,368 in interest and shortened the loan payments from 40 years to 26 years.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation payable to City of Lancaster Community Center Fund. Donation receipts will be sent for any donation of $100.00 or more.
