Dothan has secured millions of dollars to get to work building a new community center on the east side of town near the Wiregrass Public Safety Center.
Mayor Mark Saliba thanked Senator Tommy Tuberville for helping secure $7.7 million in Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant funds.
The location on Ennis Road will allow local emergency response teams to hold events, and the community center will also have the opportunity to be rented out.
The city is in the design phase now, but completion is estimated to be in the next couple of years.
