The new hours of operation will be Monday through Thursday, from 8 am to 4:30 pm and Friday’s from 8 am to 12 noon. The new hours will take affect within the next three weeks.
Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford and City Manager Dave Childs made the announcement early Monday morning to dozens of cheering Legacy Commons patrons.
In addition to the longer hours, Childs announced that several computers would be upgraded and the billiard tables would be refurbished.
“We couldn’t have done this without everyone pulling together,” Childs said. “Staff, volunteers and the support of our Council made this happen.”
“Thank you for your patience during our transition,” said Ledford. “And thanks to all our volunteers and ambassadors for making this a great place to be for our active seniors.”
“I think it’s wonderful,” said Marilyn DiGiovanni. “I love it!”
