This spring will see the opening of a new senior center off Murchison Road and the completion of a neighborhood park in east Fayetteville, a city official overseeing construction told City Council members at a meeting last week. Meanwhile, a large tennis complex off Bragg Boulevard faces delays.
Senior Center East off Murchison Road near Fayetteville State University is “very close,” said Rob Stone, the construction management director for the city. He spoke during the council’s work session Feb. 5, and said supply chain issues and waiting on windows to be delivered had delayed construction.

Still, he said he expected “substantial completion” by mid-month, with planning for an opening to start soon. He had just recently seen the windows delivered, he said.
The city and parks department opened the Bill Crisp Senior Center in west Cumberland County in October 2022.
“That is a very well-accepted, well-used facility,” Stone said.
