According to Hay, the city’
presently needs S 140,000-plus to
retire outstanding balances on con
struction contracts for the Rozar
Park Community and Recreation
Center and to furnish the facility
once completed.
In addition to the recent surplus
sale, Hay also said that the city is
planning a public auction of several
city-owned properties in efforts to
culminate fund-raising efforts.
As for the progress of construc
tion at the Rozar Park site, Hay
said that he expected construction
crews to finish pouring the facil
ity’s concrete flooring this week.
After the concrete cures for a couple
of weeks, the metal frame and skin
of the facility should begin going
up.
The city hopes to take posses
sion of the facility in November
and expects to have it occupied in
January of next year.
