James DeLapp, executive director of Mobile's public works department, detailed Tuesday some of the timeline and plans for the Mobile Civic Center project that at least one council member calls 'premature.'
“I’m committed to $4 million, but I don’t want us to get to the point where, all of a sudden, we’re $16 million in and we don’t know how much it will cost or look like on an operating basis going forward,” Daves said.DeLapp provided the following notable timetables and details about the project to the media on Tuesday:
Groundbreaking on the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers office building, which will be constructed on the southeast side of the venue’s parking lot,. Completion is expected in January 2025. The office building will be owned by its developer, FD Stonewater, and leased by the Corps of Engineers. A search for a corporate naming sponsor of the revitalize the Civic Center is underway. DeLapp compared it to the Caesars Superdome, which was previously the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. He said a naming strategy is “to get funding to help offset the costs of the renovation.”
What about Biloxi? The Mississippi city, which is about a one-hour drive west of Mobile, is a draw for touring entertainers who perform at venues affixed to casinos. Alabama has long prohibited organized casino gambling. “There will always be communities around the city that we will have to compete with,” DeLapp said. “But these improvements will make Mobile competitive.
