New Avondale Rec Center To Get Plastic Seats For Concrete Bleachers; To Add $30,000 To The Cost

The new Avondale Recreation Center will be getting plastic seats atop concrete bleachers, officials said.

Stacy Richardson, the mayor's chief of staff, said it would add some $30,000 to the cost of the center.

Councilman Anthony Byrd said a members of a committee of Avondale citizens are happy with the seating.

The community earlier expressed concern when the original plans had concrete bleachers without any kind of upright seating.
