(Audubon) The next step of the gym expansion project at the Audubon Rec Center could start next week.
Doug Olsen with the Audubon Recreation Foundation says the steel construction company’s arrival is right around the corner. The footings got finished before things froze up. “We were happy to make that progress. Now we are waiting for the steel construction company to get here and it looks like they’ll hopefully get started next week if everything comes together.”
This phase of the project could take up to two months. “It sounds like once they get started it’ll be 6-8 weeks. That will be the steel support as well as the shell. From there, weather permitting we’ll get the flooring poured and that kind of thing.”
A casino night will be held at the rec center on February 4th to help raise the remaining $300,000 of their $2 Million fundraising goal. “We’ve done that one other time and it was very successful and well attended. We are also continuing to right grants that we qualify for and general donations are still being accepted.”
