Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Columbus-Lowndes Convention and Visitors Bureau extended the deadline by one year for Columbus to utilize its $1 million share of funding for the Sen. Terry Brown Amphitheater on the Island. The extension sets the new end date for the interlocal agreement to September 30, 2027, a decision that the city council agreed to earlier this month. The city has spent over $3.5 million on the amphitheater since 2017, with additional funding provided by the city and the CVB.
