Some major renovations are now underway at the Ben Garza Park Gymnasium.
The existing men’s and women’s locker rooms will be renovated to improve the structural integrity and the plumbing.
The project, which will use funds from the community development block grant entitlement program, is estimated to cost $511,000.
