The Oak Ridge City Council is scheduled to discuss on Tuesday evening a new long-range development plan, or “city blueprint”; the city-owned Tennessee Centennial Golf Course; and moves of the administrative offices of the Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department and the Oak Ridge Senior Center.
The Tuesday evening meeting is an Oak Ridge City Council work session. It starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday, January 17, in the Multipurpose Room at the Central Services Complex on Woodbury Lane. See the agenda here.
Learn more about a January 26 kickoff meeting for the city blueprint here. That’s a public meeting that starts at 4 p.m. at High Places Community Church in Grove Center.
Read our last story about the City Council approving $120,000 in funding for the golf course here.
See our last story on the moves of the Senior Center and Recreations and Parks offices here. The Senior Center is scheduled to re-open January 30 at the Oak Ridge Civic Center.
There are other updates listed on the Tuesday evening agenda. They are on the eighth rowing lane, Blankenship Field, and the Secret City Festival. The updates will presumably be given as time allows.
More information will be added as it becomes available.

When is City Council going to discuss the new Pre School building. It has been almost a year since recommendations were made by a select committee on this issue.

Hi, Mike. It looks like the preschool could be discussed at a joint City Council-Board of Education work session on Thursday: http://bjq.6af.mytemp.website/2017/01/20/city-council-boe-discuss-preschool-blankenship-budget-energy-savings/
It appears from the agenda that the site selection could now include Elm Grove Park in east Oak Ridge and Scarboro Center.
I hope to attend the work session and will report on it as I can.
Thank you,
John
