In 2020, The Merrill Community Center, now known as the Pine Bluff Community underwent a $1.3M renovation. The 60 year old facility spanning 27,000 square feet has longed served children but was beyond a serviceable center. GFPB raised private funds through grants and private philanthropy to further the project funded primarily by the GFPB Sales Tax. The center now offers a safe environment for cooking, dance, boxing, computer lab, music studio and basketbal. Check out the video for the upgrades.
