In June, the Carroll City Council voted to move forward with proposed renovations and improvements to the Carroll Recreation Center. On Tuesday, community members gathered at the Rec Center as city officials and rec employees officially started the renovation with a groundbreaking. Parks and Rec Director Chad Tiemeyer says he is excited to start the project.
The bids for the project were initially over budget, and officials were forced to go back to the drawing board. The project was scaled back and rebid with only one contract, Badding Construction participating. Tiemeyer adds he thinks people will come to the rec more often after the renovations are complete.
The cost for the rec improvements is $7.35 million when design expenses and other costs are included. A picture of the groundbreaking can be found included with this story on our website. Stay tuned to future newscasts, as Carroll Broadcasting will bring you more on the project.
