SALT LAKE CITY — Days after voting to close multiple child care centers, the Salt Lake County Council voted to shutter a senior citizen center where a million-dollar renovation is currently underway.

Tuesday's 5-4 vote along party lines to close the Tenth East Senior Center came hours after dozens of parents expressed their anger over the previously announced closings of four child care centers across the valley.

According to a notice on the county's website, the Tenth East Senior Center is currently closed for an 18-month remodel that began on Sept. 5 and was approved by the council three years ago.

A release shared by the county said that nearly 600 seniors visit the center "for meals, recreational opportunities, and critical social interactions with their peers and community."
