SOUTH HAVEN – Over the past year, the seven activity centers operated by Senor Services in Van Buren County have remained closed due to health restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. But that hasn’t stopped the association’s board and staff from embarking on the ambitious task of creating a new activity center slated to open later this year in South Haven.
Senior service staff, board members and community leaders took part in an indoor groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, to begin a $ 2.5 million renovation of the former grocery store at the North Market. village into a new center of activities. The renovated facility will replace the existing senior center on 76th Street at the First Baptist Church.
