Montgomery celebrates Sheridan Heights Community Center renovations
Mayor Steven Reed's father, Joe, was on the Montgomery City Council in 1986 when the Sheridan Heights Community Center initially opened. On May 6, Steven Reed gathered with city leaders and others to celebrate a re-launch of the center with more amenities, part of a larger project geared at helping the surrounding neighborhoods. "That's what investing in community looks like," Reed said outside the center. The renovations include a resurfaced pool and a resurfaced gym floor. The city also added an e-gaming room and a table tennis game.
