Cache County Senior Center faces opposition

(Herald Journal) County Executive Lynn Lemon is hearing substantial opposition from constituents against a proposed senior center project.

He has received a 14-page petition signed by 127 people, whom he believes are mostly senior citizens, optimistic that county officials will listen to their concerns.

“We, the undersigned citizens, are very opposed to the tearing down of ‘our’ Senior Center building and to building a multi-million-dollar facility with apartments,” the petition reads. “Some people think that our officials will do as they please, but we have faith that citizens’ voices are heard.”

Lemon said the petition was circulated at a Thanksgiving lunch held at the Cache County Senior Citizens Center on Nov. 20.
