We’re a Voting Location

For many residents in Milan, the Polk Clark Community Center is a familiar and trusted place to cast their vote. Located in the heart of the community, our facility serves as a designated voting precinct during local, state, and national elections. This role not only supports civic engagement but also provides seniors and residents without transportation a nearby and accessible polling place.

We take pride in fostering civic responsibility and democratic participation by offering a welcoming environment where every voice can be heard.

We’re an Emergency Storm Shelter

When severe weather strikes or emergencies arise, the Polk Clark Community Center is ready to serve as a designated storm shelter for area residents. Our sturdy construction, central location, and ample space make the facility a safe haven during critical times.

The ability to provide shelter in a time of need reflects our deep commitment to the safety and well-being of every member of our community. We work with local officials to ensure the center remains prepared, accessible, and equipped to support those who need refuge.
