30 Apr Town of Newcomb hosts open house at its newly constructed community center
The Town of Newcomb invites residents and business leaders throughout the region to the grand opening of its new community center on Saturday, May 24 at 2:00 p.m. Local officials are expected to be on hand to officially open the building and welcome the community. The celebration will include live music, food, kids games, and activities.
The Town of Newcomb began construction of the community center in 2024, after originally being delayed due to the COVID pandemic. The 4,850 square-foot building will house the welcome center, along with the Parks, Recreation, and Events office. It boasts a commercial kitchen for the Essex County Office of the Aging Senior Meal Program, shared office space that can be used by businesses, local organizations and community members, meeting rooms, and a large community room that can be used for public meetings, events, and training.
According to Newcomb Town Supervisor Robin Deloria, the building’s completion is expected to enhance the community while introducing travelers to attractions and amenities in the central Adirondack region. “This is a very long-awaited day,” he said. “I have no doubt that the building will quickly become the center of local, and regional, activity in Newcomb, hosting many of our important activities and organizations. I’m encouraging everyone to stop by and celebrate with us on Memorial Day weekend.”
The new building is located on Route 28N in Newcomb, with convenient access for those traveling between I-87 and Newcomb, while being centrally located for community members. The Community Center joins a growing constellation of facilities in this centralized area, including the health center, museum, rescue squad, Lilbern Yandon Recreation Park, High Peaks Golf Course, and Overlook Park – offering an expansive vista that showcases the view of the southern High Peaks, a natural and popular stopping point for visitors to the region.
