Almost 50 years ago, the Civic Center opened with a performance by Dothan native Bobby Goldsboro. Now, that arena could be nearing its end.
DOTHAN, Ala. -City center in Dothan is the immediate area surrounding and including the Civic Center. For it is there that our forefathers settled in the 1800′s, lured by a small spring that provided water essential to their livelihood.
A shopping hub for three states, Dothan’s most economically impactful industry other than retail is healthcare, with two major hospitals and many other medical facilities.While historical reflections are important, the future is where we should focus, the city’s mayor believes. Saliba, though, is adamant that City Center Block funding must come from multiple sources, including city of Dothan, Houston County, government grants and private investment.Among other ideas that have been tossed around is constructing a new arena to replace the Civic Center.
That is nice way of saying that old arena constructed almost 50 years ago probably needs to go, as does structurally attached city hall.
