Leadership Message
This $15 million community center represents more than infrastructure—it's an investment in human potential. Growing up in Nedrow, I witnessed firsthand the barriers young people face when critical resources aren't accessible in their own community.
The Jon Diaz Community Center will eliminate those barriers permanently, creating a lasting legacy of opportunity that will serve thousands of families for generations. I invite you to join us in making history."
