Project Description: The City of Huntsville transformed the former National Guard Armory in John Hunt Park into the Raymond W. Jones Community Center. The $6.3 million project was largely funded through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) program, with the City providing remaining funds through its capital budget. Located near the Steve Hettinger Drive entrance on the east side of John Hunt Park, the former armory closed in 2017. The City later acquired the property from the state. The renovation project included a new roof, HVAC system, plumbing, upgraded electrical systems, windows, LED lighting and finishes. Outside, the building received façade improvements, and the parking lot was expanded to accommodate more vehicles and ADA-accessible spaces. The center houses offices for John Hunt Park management staff and facilities supporting senior populations programming.
