Victoria Recreation Center Roof Replacement    IN PROGRESS 

The Victoria Recreation Center (VRC) is pleased to announce the Roof Replacement project, which serves as a crucial step in preventing facility damage, addressing existing leaks, and ensuring the facility’s long-term sustainability. This project is in partnership with Independent School District 112 (ISD 112), who will manage and coordinate the project. While some impact on VRC programs is expected, City staff will maintain regular communication with the public to keep everyone informed. Construction began in earnest the week of July 24, 2023.
