Allegheny Point may or may not be the new home of the Warren Senior Center.

The center's executive director said Tuesday that no decisions have been made about
relocating the senior center.

Since plans for the new downtown housing/retail building were announced more than two years ago, the Warren Senior Center was mentioned as the probable tenant of the lower level or "lawn level" of the building. The lawn level will open onto Breeze Point Landing.

Margaret Sleeman, Warren Senior Center executive director, had previously confirmed
that the senior center would probably be moving into Allegheny Point. Construction of the
4 million building is nearing completion.

Sleeman did qualify her previous statement about the move to Allegheny Point by saying senior center staff was exploring whether any grants were available to help pay for the new center.

But Sleeman said on Tuesday that Allegheny Point is only among the options for relocating

"No actual decisions have been made at this point," she said. "We're looking at options. There are a lot of different things, but the board has not decided."

The senior center's board of directors is waiting for some answers related to potential
sites, said Sleeman, and the responses to those questions will guide the decision.

As of Tuesday, said Sleeman, "Nothing has been decided."

The senior center had planned to rent Allegheny Point space for the new center rather than purchase the facility from the owner, Susquehanna Valley Development Group.

The Warren Senior Center is currently located in a converted residence in the 800 block of Pennsylvania Ave. W.

The lawn level of Allegheny Point where the senior center would be located is 11,000 square feet.

The street level of the 44,000-square-foot building will offer retail and office space and
the upper floors will contain 20 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom housing units, all with handicapped access, for persons aged 62 and older.
