City looking at improvements for arena, auditorium
The city of Graham is looking to improve the lights at Graham Memorial Auditorium and the speaker system at the Young County Arena.
The city council met on Thursday and discussed the situation regarding lighting at Graham Memorial Auditorium, which have not been overhauled since 1986, according to Graham Regional Theater Director, Christian Sanders.
“It is a need and the lights need to be updated at the auditorium. It is something they (the arena board) have been discussing probably for about a year and a half,” City Manager Brandon Anderson said.
Anderson said the board tried to obtain three bids for the lighting and had two companies come and look at the auditorium for a quote. One of the original bids was for $46,000, and despite the bid expiring, Anderson said they expect the price to be around the same.
