The Columbus Event Center is closing to make way for a new development in Blighted Area 10, which city officials have said is a spot for potential new projects such as a casino.
The land is between Highway 81 and Lost Creek Parkway northwest of Columbus.
Columbus Event Center, 3868 63rd Ave., was told to leave by its landlord in March to make room for a new development, event center owner Jason Beiermann said, but he did not know what development was coming in.
The last day the facility will be open to the public is May 1. The event center offers activities such as skating and sports.Â
