Wayland senior center site master plan

Abstract

The Town of Wayland, located in Floyd County, Kentucky, has an approximate population of 500 people. Once a prosperous mining town, Wayland has a deep cultural legacy that survives through the hard work of many residents and the local historical society. Wayland's long-term goal is to attract a larger population by re-engaging the community through recreational activity, promoting their cultural heritage, and improving upon the town aesthetic. In December 2012, CDAC worked with Wayland on the design of a community park/recreational baseball field for this purpose and created a conceptual master plan for town development.<br /><br />Additional grant money has allowed CDAC to return to Wayland for series of smaller projects such as improving the Senior Center/ City Hall property, developing a town community center/welcome sign, and evaluating a waterfall lookout opportunity. The CDAC team developed an overall master plan for the Senior Center site and provided conceptual designs for the other two areas. Working through a series of iterations, the team believes the final concept will allow Wayland to continue progressing towards their desired plan for growth.
