East Ridge breaks ground on multi-purpose center

Officials with the city of East Ridge were joined by representatives of Pillar Construction, ASA Engineering, and HK Architects to break ground on the new East Ridge Town Center’s Multipurpose Event Center. Serving as a vibrant new space for community events and activities, the multi-purpose 12,000 square foot facility will include 7,072 square feet of event space.  Boasting 20-foot ceilings, the event space will have glass doors that can be opened when weather conditions allow.  Two smaller multi-purpose rooms, a catering kitchen, outdoor entertainment space, and indoor public restrooms are also included in the plans. City leaders envision a space that will host farmer’s markets and craft shows to wedding venues, birthday parties and everything in between.
