Community Center
We’ve Expanded
The Department of Community Programs has served generations of Summit residents in the original community center building since 1954. As the popularity of our programs continued to grow, there was an increasing need for a complete renovation and expansion of the Community Center. The Grand Opening of the new facility took place in May 2019.
