ST. SIMONS ISLAND | Finally, the timetable and location for Georgia’s indoor athletic facility is confirmed public knowledge.
A long-time figment of speculation and debate, athletics director Greg McGarity announced at Thursday’s athletic board of directors meeting the building will be adjacent to Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall, parallel to Rutherford Street.
Construction could begin as early as January.
“We’re expecting to have a construction management team in place by mid-July,” McGarity said. “Once the group has been identified and on board it will take them about six weeks to gather information to be able to give us a cost projection.
