DALTON —
The Dalton City Council is scheduled to vote on bids for the reconstruction of the Dalton Community Center when it meets tonight at 6 p.m. in City Hall.
Dalton City Administrator Ty Ross said last month the city had received 11 bids on the project. Ross said most of the bids had come in at or under the projected $4.3 million cost. The community center, which opened in 1966 on Fredrick Street, was demolished in September.
The new building will have two full-size basketball courts, compared to one middle school-size gym in the previous building, as well as an indoor walking track, a weight room and a large meeting room that can be divided into smaller rooms if needed.
In addition to the traditional recreation activities, the center will host an office of the federal Women, Infants and Children program, and city officials have said they would like to have a satellite branch of the Dalton-Whitfield Library there as well as programs from the Creative Arts Guild, Dalton State College and local churches and community groups.
The council is also scheduled to vote on an agreement with Stanley, Hunt, DuPree & Rhine for actuarial services.
