The Department of Youth and Family Development's Avondale Center will be closed until September 2019 in order to complete construction of the new center.
The closure of the center at 1305 Dodson Ave. is effective immediately.
All Avondale participants have been informed to attend neighboring centers such as Carver, East Chattanooga and Glenwood YFD Centers, officials said in a news release. All centers have made adjustments to accept the additional center participants as well.
