One Positive Place new facility proposal
Summary
One Positive Place has raised $1.2 million and bought or received donated four parcels near 17th Street and Maybell Whitfield Way to build a larger after-school facility serving 100+ kids, with a lock-off community center space for city use. They need the city as a partner — and possibly the vacation of an alleyway to eliminate setbacks — but commissioners want a funding plan before committing.

Impact analysis
One Positive Place has about $1.2 million banked for construction, but operating a bigger facility would add staffing costs on top of an existing shortfall.
Families in central Panama City could get after-school slots for up to 100 more kids, plus a community center space.
