Center of attention: Brentwood youth center eyed for 2028 opening as costs, delays grow

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY OFFICIALS are continuing to work on plans to build a new $23 million youth center in Brentwood — once projected to open at the end of this year — but now the cost has increased and the opening date has been pushed back to 2028. 

The center, intended to serve youths, ages 12 to 18, is slated to be built on a 4-acre parcel off Windy Springs Lane near Lone Tree Way — sharing the site where Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s new Fire Station 90 is planned.
