Richland One to Hold Meetings Community Meeting on Proposed Upgrades to Athletic Facilities
March 11, 2015
COLUMBIA, SC – Richland One will present proposed plans to modernize the district’s aging athletics facilities during a series of upcoming community meetings.
The plans call for upgrades to the district’s three existing stadiums (Bolden, Memorial and Lower Richland); construction of a new stadium on the W.J. Keenan High School campus; and improvements to the existing fields at A.C. Flora, Columbia, Eau Claire and Dreher high schools.
The facility study that was conducted by a consulting firm hired by the district, which outlines the site-by-site recommendations for the district’s athletics facilities, is posted at www.richlandone.org. The estimated cost of the projects is $39.9 million.
