And a big one: Milton is getting a real community center

Council approved $3.7 million in initial funding for a new indoor community center — a 60,000-square-foot, multigenerational facility that will replace the converted clubhouse on Dinsmore Road the city has been using for community events. That's a major commitment: purpose-built community space has been on Milton wish lists for as long as the city has existed, and the converted clubhouse was always a make-do.

One thing the city hasn't said yet: where it will go. No site has been disclosed for the new facility. We'll report the location, the timeline, and what "multigenerational" means in programming terms as details emerge — this one touches everyone from toddler storytime to pickleball.
