RACINE, Wis — Due to the cold temperatures, the City of Racine has decided to keep select community centers open as warming centers Monday, Jan 20.

All City of Racine buildings were originally scheduled to be closed to the public in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Racine mayor Cory Mason says, “We have a duty to offer resources and space to keep people warm and safe. In the true spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the staff at the Parks and Recreation Department have chosen to help their community instead of taking the day off.”
