Construction Set to Begin on New Recreation Complex

Community Invited to Commemorate Kickoff

SEBRING, FL – Sun ‘n Lake representatives, residents, business leaders and friends will gather together to commemorate the kickoff of construction for the new $1.7 million community recreation complex. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Friday, February 26 at 8:45 a.m. and will be held just behind the current community center located at 3500 Edgewater Drive.

“The new recreation complex is going to be a great place for our community to come together,” said Sun ‘n Lake General Manager Al Grieshaber Jr. “From water aerobics to arts and crafts there is certainly something for everyone here at Sun ‘n Lake and this complex will add to the amenities and lifestyle of our residents. With all the activities that occur in this community on a weekly basis, I’m sure it’s going to be put to good use.”

Designed by The Evans Group, the new complex will feature a 2,485 sq/ft zero-entry pool and 1,689 sq/ft bathhouse, picnic pavilion and children’s play area. Weller Pools LLC, well known in the pool and water feature industry, will spearhead the pool construction. Lodge Construction, the company who recently completed the golf clubhouse on schedule and under budget, will manage the project. Expected completion date is July 31, 2010.

“We are proud to be working with the District on this project,” said Michael Dunn, Vice President of Lodge Construction. “These projects clearly will enhance what is already an excellent quality of life here at Sun ‘n Lake.”
