A large contingent of guests start the first shovel and the Salvation Army Aurora Corps breaks ground for a community center Wednesday, Oct. 23 on the West Side of Aurora, at 550 Redwood Drive. The groundbreaking was the site of the building, since torn down, of the Aurora Moose Lodge. The Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce was the host. The first of two phases in the projected $8 Million community center is estimated to cost $5 Million and will be 11,350 square feet with a completion target date of August 2020. Included will be a chapel, classrooms, food pantry, and social services office. Phase two will be 11,700 square feet with an estimated cost of $3 Million. Jason Crane/The Voice
