Committe approved to develope multi-use sports complex

The Kanawha County Commission is approving a five-member committee to oversee a project to building a multi-use sports complex downtown. It is joint effort between the county and the City of Charleston. The board will be responsible for getting the construction phase of the project underway, and also be responsible for acquiring property. The original concept called for the transformation of the old Macy’s location and part of the Town Center parking garage into the complex, but issues with bond holders is slowing down the process.
