A longtime community center in Stamford is set to reopen Saturday after flooding forced the building to close.

The Lathon Wider Community Center will hold a free grand opening event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The building was shut down after a mechanical failure caused three feet of water to flood the basement.

The flooding forced out several tenants, including doctors, dentists, immigration services, a library and a day care.

Crews worked to repair the damage and prepare the center to reopen for the community.
