Marion County Community Center Floorplan & Services
By MCCCS Let’s talk about the proposed building and its many services for the people of Marion County. We’ve had some folks concerned that we are overbuilding. In the last 4-5 years we have visited 12 community centers in Arkansas and Missouri. We are grateful for these facilities and have learned a lot from their experienced staff. Our building will be about 41,000 square feet. For comparison, approximate square footage in the following facilities: Mountain Home 100,000, Harrison 100,000, Batesville 100,000 with 12,000 outdoor aquatic centers, Heber Springs 100,000, Paragould 52,000, and our closest comparable is Berryville at 51,305.
