Cumberland County is planning a second outreach event for subcontractors, suppliers and vendors that are interested in participating in the Crown Event Center project.
TA Loving/Metcon, which is the Construction Manager at Risk for the project, will host an outreach event Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the FSU HUB, located at 1073 Murchison Road. The outreach event is intended to provide information related to bidding on the project.
The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners has approved a budget of $145 million and a building program of 134,000 square feet for the Crown Event Center, which will be located in front of the Judge E. Maurice Braswell Cumberland County Courthouse in downtown Fayetteville. The approved construction budget for the project is $117,864,211.
The County expects to break ground on the new Crown Event Center in September 2024 for demolition and early sitework with the majority of construction beginning in early 2025. The new Crown Event Center is set to open in early 2027.
