Jamestown (CSi) Plans are continuing for the Anne Carlsen Center to relocate.

The Board of Directors is planning to move the Jamestown campus from it’s present Northwest Jamestown to a new facility, after 73 years at Horseshoe Park, near the James River.

AnneCarlsenCenterThe board and campus management are in a planning effort, “Pathways to the Future Project,” to build a new center in 2016 or 2017, located at a 15-acre lot the center owns on the east side of the Jamestown Regional Medical Center.

CEO Eric Monson says much of the current campus is the original facility from 1941 and has outgrown some parts of the building.

EricMonson-1Monson adds the building had been mechanically and electrically evaluated several years ago and extensive work needs to be done to continue offering a growing demand for the center’s services.

The building is also short of adequate office space, plus updates are needed to the heating and cooling systems.

The center provides community-based services for children and adults with disabilities.
