SARATOGA SPRINGS — A cutting-edge center of 21st century global technology and a venue honoring the traditional offerings of helping those in need met at the intersection of Franklin and Washington streets this week in a collaborative effort for the betterment of the local community, and all points beyond. Elliott and Cathy Masie built the Masie Center on the east side of Saratoga Springs 20 years ago.
This week, Franklin Community Center – which serves thousands of people every year locally - has purchased the Masie building and will be expanding their services. The new building, to be renamed the Michael & Stacie Arpey Family Community Center, will allow the Franklin the space it has needed to grow their programs. Franklin Community Center has served as a social service hub for the less fortunate in and around Saratoga since 1983. See Story pg. 9
