Lyon County’s Board of Commissioners has approved a Construction Agreement with the William N. Pennington Foundation to build a brand new Senior Center in Fernley. The Foundation awarded Lyon County three million dollars to build a facility that will serve as the Center with office space included for the Human Services Department. The funding will cover about half of the costs to build the facility. The facility being built off Lois Lane behind the Fernley Depot will replace the existing aging facility and provide the Human Services Department with much needed office space in Fernley, and get Lyon County out of lease payments for existing offices. Construction begins early next year.
