Some news and articles on the proposed Andover Youth Center:

  • In July of 2000, the Andover Youth Foundation suggested land behind the Chandler Fire Station for a Youth Center.
  • Yvon and Noella Cormier of Andover donated $1.5 million to the Town of Andover for a youth center in West Andover. Under the agreement with the Andover Youth Foundation, the town will provide 6 acres in West Andover. The center would be called the Cormier Family Youth Center. Yvon owns the Cormier Construction Company.
  • Funding and other issues delay a June 2006 start date for construction of a Youth Center.
  • In 2006, a location downtown was discussed, but the article asking the Town for $900,000 was withdrawn from the Town Warrant. Selectman Brian Major suggested a Special Town Meeting in the fall to deal with the youth center.
