Construction is progressing on the future Gretna Community Complex, with topping out expected to occur soon, according to Weitz, the project’s construction contractor. The 2-story, 60,000 sq. ft. building will be located near Jansen Drive and Highway 6/31 immediately west of Gretna Crossing Park.
The project combines the Gretna City Hall with the city’s main and children’s libraries, as well as a community center into one new building. Included are offices, conference rooms, formal meeting space for city bodies as well as for rent by the public, teaching kitchen and maker space. Indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and an outdoor pavilion provide additional programming and community areas. Completion is planned for early next year.
