A $24,000 grant will help the Monroeville Senior Citizens Center replace the flooring in its fitness center, state Rep. Brandon Markosek announced.

Markosek, D-Monroeville, said the funding for the project will cover the cost to remove the current carpet flooring in the center’s fitness area and install athletic rubber flooring.

“The new fitness center flooring will help the senior center meet COVID cleaning standards and allow it to disinfect the floors on a daily basis,” Markosek said. “I’m pleased to assist the senior center in securing funding for this project, which will help to protect the health of Monroeville and Pitcairn residents using the facility.”

The grant was administered by the state Department of Community and Economic Development.

The Monroeville Senior Citizen Center, built in 1980 and located at 6000 Gateway Campus Blvd,, has become the hub of activity for Monroeville and Pitcairn residents.

The center provides daily activities, services and programs for adults 50 and older, and serves as an informational bureau for seniors often referring them to other agencies. It is owned by the municipality of Monroeville and operated by the Monroeville Council of Senior Citizens, incorporated under an agreement with the municipality.
