Storey County Opens New Multi-Generational Lockwood Senior Community Center
Storey County officials, community members, and partners gathered on Wednesday, October 29, to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the new Lockwood Senior Community Center. The 8,506-square-foot facility brings together Senior Services, a Food Pantry, Canyon General Improvement District, and Early Childhood Development under one roof, providing a central location for multi-generational community programs and services.
Speakers at the event included Commissioner Donald Gilman, Health & Community Services Director Stacy York, and County Manager Austin Osborne, who each recognized the project as a milestone in expanding local resources for residents of all ages.
Commissioner Donald Gilman highlighted the importance of collaboration and community support in making the project a reality.
“The staff worked so hard to make this possible, and seeing it come together for the community is incredible,” Gilman said. “I’ve lived and worked here for 20 years, and having a place like this — where residents can feel safe, cared for, and connected — is something truly special. Thank you for your patience and support throughout this project.”
Health & Community Services Director Stacy York emphasized the impact the facility will have on daily life in Lockwood.
“The new multi-generational center allows us to expand services and better support our residents,” York said. “From senior meals to early childhood education, this space helps us build meaningful connections across generations.”
County Manager Austin Osborne highlighted the broader community benefits.
“This center represents Storey County’s continued investment in community well-being,” Osborne said. “It’s a place designed to bring people together — seniors, families, and children — to learn, connect, and thrive.”
The Lockwood Senior Community Center will open to the public on Monday, November 3. Residents are invited to visit and explore the new space designed to serve Lockwood’s community.
The County extends its appreciation to the many partners who helped make the project possible, including K7 Construction, Construction Materials Engineers (CME), Lumos & Associates, Paul Cavin Architecture, PK Engineering, and Ainsworth Engineering. Gratitude is also extended to Senator Jacky Rosen and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto for their support through the Federal Community Project Funding grant, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Congressional Grants Division.
