Chandler approves 10-year facility agreement for community center

Posted

The Chandler City Council recently voted to approve a 10-year facility use agreement between the city and nonprofit Live Love for use of the Oasis Community Center.

Established in 2007, Live Love is constructing The Oasis, a two-acre community gathering space located in the Galveston neighborhood. It's at 482 E. Erie St. — just north of Downtown Chandler.

This new space will feature gardens, a learning center for teens and adults and areas for families to observe cultural traditions.

The first phase of the center is scheduled to open to the public in late 2024. The second phase is expected to have construction begin in early 2025.

The city plans to use Oasis for city-sponsored public service activities, including, but not limited to, educational events, recreational programs, community meetings and special events.

As part of the agreement, the city of Chandler will pay Live Love a one-time fee of about $71,000 from general funds for use of the facility, which offsets impact fees owed to the city by Live Love.
