“I put $50,000 into the facility as far as the gymnasium,” said Gooden. “We had youth organizations playing, we had a lot of things going on there every day.”
But then the facility shut down for more renovations in 2021, and Gooden says that’s when vandals took over.
“That’s when they just went ballistic,” said Gooden. “They started taking some of the construction stuff, it was just unreal.”“Once the vandalism started, we just had too much to keep it going as a community center,” said Gooden. “Because now you gotta have security all the time, you gotta have a whole bunch of stuff that other normal community centers don’t have.”Gooden didn’t have enough money or resources to continue his community center.
And even better news, Gooden says a new owner will take over the property in December, with plans to tear the building down and build new homes.Big changes coming to what became an eyesore for the community, and it all started after the 19 Troubleshooters stepped in.
