The Westchester Community Center was established in 1994 by a creative partnership between the Oella community and Baltimore County Government. In this partnership, county government leased a once dilapidated old school building to the community in exchange for long-term community responsibility for management, maintenance and repair of the building. The center is run by the Westchester Center Foundation, a non-profit organization of the community which oversees operations of the facility. Rooms in the facility are rented to long-term tenants; the main hall and 2 meeting rooms are also available for rent to anyone in the community for meetings, classes, and parties.
