The Clarion Area Agency on Aging received preliminary approval Wednesday from the Clarion County Planning Commission to begin work on a new office building on Route 322 between Clarion and Strattanville.
The new building will be 5,633 square feet, and it will be located on a 1.89 acre plot of land owned by Beckwith Rentals, who will design and build the property.
The Area Agency on Aging, which currently shares space with district judge Duane Quinn on Grant Street in Clarion, will relocate after the first of next year.
“This move will position the agency to better respond to the needs of the county’s aging population as well as demands that the future of state and federal funding may place upon the agency,” Harold Jacobson, the Area Aging board president, said in a statement.
