ACCORDING TO STATLER'S DAUGHTER, HER MOTHER ONCE COMMENTED "SHE WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THE TOWN EVER AMOUNTED TO MUCH." TODAY THE CITY OF SURPRISE HAS A POPULATION OF OVER 150K RESIDENTS WITH A GROWING REGIONAL POPULATION AND A NEED FOR EXPANDED COMMUNITY SERVICES AND AMENITIES. THE ORIGINAL ONE SQUARE MILE OF FARMLANDS STILL EXISTS AND IS CALLED "THE ORIGINAL TOWNSITE".

THE CITY OF SURPRISE IS CONSTRUCTING THE NORTHWEST VALLEY MULTIGENERATIONAL COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER, INTENDED TO BENEFIT MANY VULNERABLE GROUPS IN OUR COMMUNITY INCLUDING YOUTH, ADULTS, SENIORS, ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES, AND FAMILIES STRUGGLING WITH POVERTY, MENTAL HEALTH, AND HOMELESSNESS. THIS CENTER IS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY, GENERATING ECONOMIC RESILIENCY AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THOSE IT WILL SERVE. THANKS TO FEDERAL AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FUNDING, MARICOPA COUNTY AND THE CITY OF SURPRISE HAVE COLLABORATED TO INVEST $27M INTO THIS APPROXIMATELY 36K SQ. FT. FACILITY. THE NEED FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT SERVICES IS HIGH AND CONTINUED REGIONAL POPULATION GROWTH IS EXPECTED. SURPRISE IS CURRENTLY TURNING AWAY PROGRAMS AND PARTNER AGENCIES DUE TO LACK OF SPACE. THE CENTER WILL IMPROVE RESOURCES BY CENTRALIZING AND EXPANDING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FROM SEVERAL AGING CITY BUILDINGS: THE SUR PRISE RESOURCE CENTER IS A COMPREHENSIVE HUB FOR VETERANS, INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES, AND SOCIAL SERVICES. BY ESTABLISHING COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH AN EXPANDING NETWORK OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT BODIES, THE CENTER PROVIDES COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACCESS TO A WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES, INCLUDING RENT AND UTILITY AID, EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE, AS WELL AS FOOD AND NUTRITION SUPPORT. CURRENTLY, PEOPLE FROM OVER 20 CITIES HAVE RECEIVED SERVICES FROM THE SURPRISE RESOURCE CENTER. THE HOLLYHOCK LIBRARY IS A SMALL LIBRARY LOCATED IN THE ORIGINAL TOWNSITE. THE LIBRARY IS A RESOURCE FOR BOOKS, MOVIES, CRAFTS, AND SOME SCHOOL SERVICES INCLUDING TUTORING AND HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE. THIS 1,000 SQ. FT. BUILDING SERVES VISITORS FROM OVER 61 DIFFERENT AREA CODES. THE SURPRISE SENIOR CENTER IS THE HUB OF ACTIVITIES FOR CITIZENS AGED 50+ AS WELL AS DISABLED ADULTS. THE CENTER OFFERS A HOT LUNCH PROGRAM, A FITNESS ROOM, AND A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS. SENIORS FROM 15 CITIES ARE ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE SURPRISE SENIOR CENTER. THE NORTHWEST VALLEY MULTIGENERATIONAL COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER WILL EXPAND EXISTING PROGRAMS AND IMPLEMENT NEW PROGRAMS.
