Baltimore County broke ground Friday on the $4.5 million Jacksonville Community Center in Phoenix. The 14,400-square-foot facility will include the Jacksonville Senior Center, serving more than 700 seniors, as well as a gymnasium, meeting rooms, and exercise and activity areas. Plans for the 32-acre property on Sweet Air Road also call for two athletic fields, a playground and a walking trail through Sweet Air Park. The center is expected to open in August.
