Community Center Survey

On July 1, 2010 the Town of Leland purchased the former Peak Fitness building at 112 Magnolia Village Way with the intention of using it as a community center. Since the building is currently unfinished, the Town has the unique opportunity to customize the facility to fit our needs. Please go to the following link and fill out a brief survey that will help guide the future use of the facility. Paper copies may be picked up at Leland Town Hall, the Public Library and various other area locations beginning August 2.
