Salt Lake City senior center reopening after budget fight

• The center temporarily closed last September to undergo a $10 million rebuild.
• Closing the center would have saved the county about $400,000 annually in operating costs and potentially millions more in canceled renovation expenses, Republican council member Aimee Winder Newton argued.
• Almost 600 people over age 60 relied on the center for meals and social interaction, the council's Democratic caucus previously said.

What they're saying: "I will work to identify operational funds necessary to welcome our seniors back to the center," Wilson said in a statement.
