Community can track progress of Gonzales center with new EarthCam
Community members interested in following the construction of the Dennis & Janice Caprara Community Center project in Gonzales can now do so with the help of a live EarthCam installed at the site by Otto Construction.
Live images are taken every 15 minutes and the progress can be viewed at share.earthcam.net/GonzalesCommunityCenter.
The Dennis & Janice Caprara Community Center Complex is being constructed on a city-owned parcel just east of Fairview Middle School. The entire project is being built in two phases by the design/build team of Otto Construction and WRNS Studio.
Phase 1 includes the library, Taylor Farms Teen Innovation Center, restrooms, a meeting room, staff office, courtyard with amphitheater and parking lot with landscaping. Phase 2 includes the community hall, fitness center and a commercial kitchen. Construction crews are currently working on phase 1, which is expected to be complete in December 2025.
The estimated budget for the entire project is $34.8 million. The city has secured the funding to build phase 1, which includes Measure X sales tax funds, $1.8 million from Monterey County for the library and $5 million that Sen. Anna Caballero secured for the teen center.
Since 2022, the city has been actively engaged in a $10 million capital campaign to raise money for the project. To date, over $6.6 million in pledges and donations have been raised.
