Milwaukee County's McGovern Senior Center remains closed indefinitely, prompting concern from community members about limited communication from county officials and uncertainty regarding the facility’s future.

As per the statement from Alderwoman Andrea M. Pratt, while the center is closed, senior programming and services continue at alternative locations, including the Clinton Rose, Washington Park, Kelly, and Wilson Senior Centers across Milwaukee. Efforts are underway to explore options for reopening McGovern Senior Center.

Milwaukee County has scheduled two public events to gather community input on the county budget, which may impact the center’s future. The first meeting is being held at the Clinton Rose Senior Center, and a second town hall is scheduled for Tuesday next week at the Mitchell Park Pavilion.

County officials are encouraging residents to share their concerns during these sessions as part of the ongoing budget discussions.
