The Town of Fountain Hills has announced that effective tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18, the Community Center will be closed to drop in visits or activity.

Town Manager Grady Miller said in a release Tuesday; “Due to concerns about the health and safety of its residents and employees relating to the COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, the Town of Fountain Hills will be closing the Community Center to the public effective Wednesday, March 18.

“In light of the guidelines issued by the White House on Monday and recommendations of the CDC, Arizona Department of Health Services, Maricopa County Health Department, and the Town of Fountain Hills believes that the closure of the Community Center is in the best interests of our residents, visitors, and employees,” said Town Manager Grady Miller.
