The City of San Diego “Special Use Permit” (or SUP) is entered into by and between the City of San Diego and Alliance for Quality Education (PERMITTEE).

The Alliance for Quality Education (AQE) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation engaged in the promotion and sponsorship of recreational, educational, cultural, and social services programs and activities for residents of the City, whose revenues are generated from voluntary contributions, special events, membership dues and fund raising projects.

Under the new management of AQE as the new Permittee, there is an opportunity to redesign the facility programmatically to better serve the seniors and older adults of Mira Mesa and its surrounding communities.
