The Crown Event Center will consist of approximately 134,000 square feet and feature a three-story main event hall with a capacity of approximately 3,000. The Center will be located in Downtown Fayetteville at the intersection of Gillespie Street and Ottis F. Jones Parkway on the block between the County’s Historic Courthouse and the Judge E. Maurice Braswell Cumberland County Courthouse.
The $145 million project budget is fully supported within the County’s Crown funding model. No General Fund revenue from County property or sales taxes is being used to fund this project. The project kicked off in April 2022 with site selection and design, and the Crown Event Center is expected to open in Spring 2027. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, in Fayetteville.
