We present a survey of the central 200 pc of the Galactic Center made with the VLA at 5 GHz in total and polarized intensity. A catalog of extended and compact sources is presented. The main scientific aim is to determine whether numerous linear radio filamentary structures detected both here and previously (by Nord et al. 2004 and Yusef-Zadeh et al. 2004) are in fact non-thermal in nature. Detections of filaments in polarized intensity are shown as well as spectral indicies based on multifrequency data (a recent 1.4 GHz survey of this region by Lang et al. (2010)). Better understanding the nature of these non-thermal filaments provides important insight into the nature of the magnetic field in the Galactic Center. Finally, we compare some of our 5 GHz sources to counterparts discovered in the HST/NICMOS Paschen Alpha Survey of the Galactic Center. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0907934.
