Supports Litchfield Community Center Building Project
The Litchfield Community Center is the latest recipient of a $10,000.00 grant from the Community Foundation of Northwest CT. These funds will be used to support the project presently underway to complete and equip a new Community Room addition to the Center’s existing facilities. This project adds a multipurpose activity room, configured to provide space for many types of functions and programs presently offered and planned for the future, by the Community Center. The new space will also be available for rental by local groups, organizations and businesses seeking a comfortable, self contained space for a meeting, seminar or retreat. Amenities of the new space include a fully accessible family rest room that offers convenience and privacy for special needs, a kitchenette and a significant amount of new space that allows for proper storage of large equipment, archival storage and activity supplies.
“We are so grateful for this wonderful grant from The Community Foundation of Northwest CT. They have been committed to supporting our mission and intentions since the beginning of our organization and we can attribute many of our successes to their continuing support”, states Berta Andrulis Mette, Executive Director of The Litchfield Community Center. “The new Community Room will be a great asset to the staff as we fulfill our purpose of meeting the needs and interest of our patrons, as well as being a great resource to the Community to plan and offer a whole array of special events, programs and gatherings that this space will be capable of accommodating”.

Construction of a new 864-square-foot addition that will provide more space for activities and storage at the Litchfield Community Center commenced on Wednesday.
Groundbreaking for the project took place on Tuesday during a ceremony overseen by Tom McDermott, president of the center's board of directors. Dean Birdsall, Rick Judd and Cathy Oneglia, members of the board of directors and the building committee for the project, also participated, as did architect Paul Hinkel, Rod Oneglia of Burlington Construction, and the center's executive director, Roberta Andrulis Mette.
The project's estimated cost is $350,000. About $100,000 had been raised so far and financing would cover the balance of the cost. Additional private donations and grants are being pursued to defray the amount still needed.
The addition is needed because the center has run out of space and frequently has to turn down requests for usage. Features of the addition will be a kitchen and family-friendly restroom.
Hinkel designed the addition and Burlington Construction is building it. Burlington built the center in 2000 and a first addition several years ago.
