The future of the McDowell County Recreation Center and its surrounding facilities topped the agenda at the McDowell County Board of Commissioners regular meeting earlier this week.
This plan from Holland & Hamrick Architects shows what can be done to the county’s Recreation Center complex on West Court Street. The complex could have an upgraded baseball field, stadium-type seating, a new swimming pool, a splash pad, more parking, a place for food trucks and facilities that are accessible for people with disabilities. However, the bids for this project came in far higher than originally anticipated. The McDowell County Commissioners agreed to accept the bids and approve them subject to financing becoming available. County officials will also notify the contractors that submitted the bids about the situation.
