The county — which has set aside over $10.25 million for the project — will renovate the building and bring it up to code, the city saidThe San Diego City Council Tuesday unanimously approved a 45-year lease with the San Diego County government to revive a vacant recreational facility, the Epicentre, in the Mira Mesa neighborhood.Once a popular youth venue located at 8450 Mira Mesa Blvd., the Epicentre closed in 2016 after the city of San Diego terminated its lease.
Some programming will be created in partnership with Mira Mesa High School,"with the goal of creating a vibrant civic hub for residents of the community and providing safe and fun recreational opportunities for local youth," according to city officials. The Mira Mesa Community Planning Group unanimously supported the proposed facility concept on May 20.
