SAN DIEGO - The Board of Supervisors Wednesday unanimously approved a 45-year lease agreement with the city of San Diego to revive the vacant Epicentre recreational facility in the Mira Mesa neighborhood.Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer said the county will spend $10.5 million on renovations for the facility. She said the county gathered in-depth public feedback on what is needed for investment in Mira Mesa , an"area of our city that is too often neglected and overlooked.
The Epicentre interior will feature game tables and consoles; fitness equipment; workstations; and a demonstration kitchen, homework area, lounge area, music room, multipurpose space and stage.Its outdoor area will include a central gathering, garden and open turf areas; and outdoor sport courts. The city government will lease the property to the county for $1 a year.
City Councilman Kent Lee said in a statement the partnership"will deliver on a decades-long community dream." During public comment, supporters -- some of whom wore t-shirts that read"We Love Mira Mesa" -- thanked the county lawmakers and staff members for their efforts on moving the Epicentre project forward.
A high school graduate who called in said he remembered not having a place to go after school. He said the Epicentre"can be the answer for us," and young people who will shape Mira Mesa. Once a popular youth venue located at 8450 Mira Mesa Blvd., the Epicentre closed in 2016 after the city of San Diego terminated its lease.
