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.
