Tuscaloosa Tennis Center reaches substantial completion; ribbon-cutting postponed as Phase 2 begins
Summary
City staff said the tennis center has reached substantial completion including hard and soft courts and new playground equipment; the ribbon-cutting set for January 20 was postponed because Phase 2 construction will create an active entrance and staff want to complete landscaping and cleanup first.
City staff reported that the Tuscaloosa Tennis Center has reached substantial completion and is usable, but a planned ribbon-cutting scheduled for Jan. 20 was postponed to allow Phase 2 construction to begin and to avoid staging the event while a construction entrance remains active.
Eric said the new entrance and courts are complete and that Mike Goldhammer and other staff are available to provide tours. He noted the new piece of playground equipment is installed. Eric described a contractor schedule of 180 days for the remaining work, attributing the extension partly to heavy rainfall last spring.
Staff asked the public to avoid active construction areas; the council was invited to tour completed elements. No new budget appropriations for this item were recorded in the provided segments.
