A New Happy Hearts Senior Center is on the horizon in Metropolis


(WMOK) Metropolis, IL – One of the things our Massac County senior citizens can look forward to in the coming year is a new space in which they can socialize.

Metropolis Mayor Don Canada has been telling us for some time on WMOK’s Coffee Brek program about changes that have been underway due to the declining condition of the current Happy Hearts building at 7th and Market Street in Metropolis.

Mayor Canada told us in November that a lot of work was underway; such as bathroom renovations to make things ADA Accessible, work on plumbing lines, work on the office space and construction of an industrial kitchen.
