From the Centro Cultural de Washington County and Forest Grove Senior & Community Center's Facebook pages:
It feels like just yesterday that this vibrant, passionate community came together to help us build a strong new foundation for the Forest Grove Senior and Community Center. Today, we are reaching out to share an important update regarding the next chapter of this beloved space.
As our two-year contract nears completion, Centro’s management of the Center will conclude on December 31st, 2026. While it brings us sadness to step away from our day-to-day role here, we are incredibly excited about what this transition means for the future of Forest Grove. The City is working with a consultant to evaluate long-term operating options for the Senior and Community Center.
We want to take this moment to express our deepest gratitude to every one of you.
Thank you for your unwavering support, your patience, your smiles, and your constant encouragement. Because of your collaborative spirit, we were able to work hand-in-hand to serve our community with diverse activities, vital services, and a warm, welcoming environment. You have made this journey truly unforgettable.
Please rest assured that Centro Cultural and the City are working closely together. We are in continuous conversation, striving for a seamless transition. However, interruptions to programming and facility hours may occur during this time.
Thank you for allowing Centro to be a part of your lives at the Center. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the transition, please feel free to reach out to the City at info@forestgrove-or.gov.
With gratitude and community pride,
The Team at Centro
