Five things you should know about the La Vista Senior Center
The La Vista Senior Center is THE place to be for those 55 and older in our community. Here are five things you should know about the La Vista Senior Center.

Construction will begin soon on the City Center public infrastructure project. 

This will affect traffic on South 83rd Avenue from Brentwood Drive to Giles Road.
