ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) - Renovation of the Rapides Parish Coliseum is on pace, but officials plan to hold off for about a year before renovating the inside of the Coliseum’s Exhibition Hall.
Exhibition Hall is a separate building on the Coliseum grounds. Over the years, it has been used for meetings, political fundraisers, gun shows, Rapides Parish Fair exhibits, senior citizen gatherings, job fairs, auctions and more.
The Coliseum itself is undergoing a $22.9 million renovation that is to be complete enough by the end of the year so that the facility can open.
The Town Talk reports (https://townta.lk/2b0q4F1) the Exhibition Hall is to be refurbished as part of the renovation, and officials have about $1.5 million for the work.
