Grow Hays, Inc. is pleased to announce the groundbreaking ceremony for the Bob and Pat Schmidt Community Center, which will take place on July 11 at 10 a.m. The ceremony will take place at the project site, 2510 Canterbury Drive.

The Bob and Pat Schmidt Community Centre is a visionary 14,000+ square foot facility designed to serve as a multi-generational hub for the Hays community.

The ceremony will include remarks from key community leaders and project stakeholders, celebrating the collaborative effort that brought this project to fruition. The new community center will not only improve the quality of life in Hays, but will also exemplify the spirit of unity and progress that defines our city.

“At the Schmidt Foundation, we are deeply honored to be a part of this incredible project,” said Gary Shorman, President of the Schmidt Foundation. “The Bob and Pat Schmidt Community Centre embodies our commitment to fostering a connected and thriving community here in Hays. This building is more than just a structure; it is a place where connections will be made, from the youngest children in daycare to our seniors at the Hays Senior Centre. The Bob and Pat Schmidt Community Centre will be a place for everyone. Our vision has always been to support initiatives that bring people together and improve the quality of life for all members of our community. The Bob and Pat Schmidt Community Centre is a testament to that vision, and we look forward to the countless ways it will serve as a hub of connection, support and growth for generations to come.”
