Hornet Hangout to Open in 2011

Beech Grove received a $237,500 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to convert two rooms in the community center for the youth area, named Hornet Hangout. The construction is set to finish in December and the center to open early 2011. While the programs have not been fully planned out, the new Hangout will have video and board games, projectors for movies or projects and a café/computer lab for students to relax with friends or finish their homework. The center will be open free of charge to any students in Beech Grove ages 8 to 18. Kids in surrounding communities are also welcome to attend for a small fee, yet to be determined. The center still needs volunteers to staff Hornet Hangout.
