City Council adopted the final plan for the Grand Junction Community Recreation Center in November of 2022. This became the basis for an April 2023 ballot initiative approved by voters that included a 0.14% sales tax increase and the debt necessary to build the facility. Community engagement over the course of several decades has included meetings, presentations, focus groups, and online opportunities for input and resulted in the final design of the new Grand Junction Community Recreation Center.
