Councilman Marks: Funding Secured to Expand Senior Center Parking
The proposed budget includes funding to expand the parking at the Seven Oaks Senior Center, as well as improve the Fullerton fire station.
I am pleased to announce that the proposed Fiscal Year 2021 county budget includes funding to design and expand parking at the Seven Oaks Senior Center in Perry Hall.
The senior center is one of the busiest in northeastern Baltimore County, sharing an entrance with Seven Oaks Elementary School. Parking is often difficult. Members have advocated for an expansion for the past five years.
After nearly a half-decade of advocacy, I am happy the budget finally includes funding for this sorely-needed improvement. When the County Executive and I visited the senior center several weeks ago, this was clearly a priority.

The $400,000 project will add capacity in the vicinity of Seven Oaks Elementary School and Seven Oaks Senior Center.
The budget also includes $800,000 to build a female locker room at the Fullerton fire station and $1 million to continue improvements to the Little Gunpowder Falls.
