Legacy Link hopes to move to its new home off Mundy Mill Road in Oakwood in early September. “We should have the keys handed over to us at the end of August,” said Pat Freeman, the private nonprofit organization’s CEO. “That’s not an absolute, but that’s what we’re looking forward to.” The agency, which provides services to seniors and their families, has worked since earlier this year on a $1.8 million renovation project to convert a building that formerly housed Bodyplex fitness center and, before that, Oakwood Sportsmen’s Lodge.
