MARINA COVE PROJECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The primary role of the Power Center is to explore opportunities for community development and implement innovative community-wide programs. This is done primarily through careful collaboration with organizations that specialize in economic, educational or social development. Two flagship Power Center initiatives are Power Center Schools and the PCA Town Center.

The ambitious plan begins with construction of a new home for the Power Center Academy, the charter middle school New Direction Christian Church opened in 2008. It would be the catalyst for homes, recreation areas, retail and a walkable community.

The new school would be a middle and high school for 875 students. The middle school now has 300 students.

Phase one will also include 32 homes, 17 of them affordable homes built through the city’s Housing and Community Development division, and a boulevard into the site that would include wide sidewalks and bicycle lanes.
