Vision

To provide an efficient and effectively managed network of community halls across the County that provides venues for people to meet and participate in the life of their communities and neighborhoods.

Goals

  • Connect and empower residents.
  • Community halls will meet the foreseeable recreation, cultural, social and sporting needs of the community.
  • County-owned facilities are only part of a network of community halls and meeting facilities available to the community.
  • Ensure that there is a geographical spread of halls and community halls throughout the County. The size and range of hall facilities offer sufficient variety to ensure a range of uses.

Objectives

  • To provide a guide to decision-making on hall or community halls proposals and facility divestment.
  • To inform the community about the County’s approach to the Community Halls Project.
  • To engage the community and receive feedback and input.

General Criteria

When deciding where a hall could be built, redeveloped, or divested, the County will consider the following criteria:

  • The geographical spread of available community halls for community use
  • Opportunities for community partnerships
  • Financial viability

The Clifton Community Campus aims to better serve residents in Clifton while promoting a better quality of life through accessible services and resources.

The campus will be home to an early childhood education center, training center, community center, and the Clifton Library.

Construction is projected to cost $31 million, which is anticipated to come from various funding sources, including American Rescue Plan and additional state, federal, and private funding. The campus is scheduled to be completed and open to the public in 2024.
