Cartersville DDA Announces New Pavilion to be Constructed in Friendship Plaza
CARTERSVILLE- Cartersville Downtown Development Authority and Main Street Program is pleased to announce the construction that will be taking place beginning in June on a new covered pavilion in Friendship Plaza. The construction will take 6-8 weeks to complete, meaning there will be no First Friday in June or July in 2015.
The new, covered pavilion that is to be constructed this summer in Friendship Plaza will be located where the current 20 x 20’ platform sits beside the depot. In its place, the new 20 x 24’, covered pavilion will mimic the look of the 1854 Western Atlantic Depot, and will provide a needed amenity downtown allowing for various performances to be held year round. The City of Cartersville and Cartersville DDA have contracted with Haigler Systems Architecture and Pennant Construction on the project. The pavilion is being paid for through funds of the Business Improvement District.
To stay up to date on details of future First Friday events and concerts resuming in August on the new covered pavilion, check out the Cartersville Downtown Facebook page and website at www.downtowncartersville.org.
