Owensboro Mayor Ron Payne announced Thursday that the city has abandoned plans to build the new $8M senior citizen center he promised last year. The City is already out $130K on the plans. Payne says it’ll be cheaper to keep patching the roof on the current Elizabeth Munday Center on W 2nd. Financing for a new senior center hinges on how much in tax rebate incentives the city is approved for by the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority for the new TIF on 54.
