$1.25M music center upgrades approved

Huber Heights City Council approved Monday night, Sept. 8, more than $1.25 million in VIP area and concession stand upgrades to the $18 million music center.

After two months of discussion and five readings, council passed three pieces of legislation — $400,000 for the VIP area, $99,000 for VIP improvements and $758,880 for concession stand upgrades.

Each one passed unanimously.

City officials have said all along that the upgrades will pay for themselves in increased concession revenue and sponsorship opportunities, and no general fund money will be used to pay for the projects.

Construction of the 4,500-seat covered music center at 6800 Executive Boulevard is expected to be completed by the end of the year. STEVEN MATTHEWS
