City Of Robertsdale To Buy Baldwin County Coliseum
The Baldwin County Coliseum will soon become the property of the City of Robertsdale, according to FOX10 News. The idea behind the building began after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. By 2008, the 44,000-ft2, $15-million Baldwin County Coliseum and storm shelter had been built. The facility is designed to withstand 200-mph winds. At the time it opened, it was the largest facility of its kind to ever be built through a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant. The county provided $4 million in matching funds and agreed to maintain the facility, until now. City leaders say they don’t expect to turn a profit on the building and surrounding facility but that they will make many improvements. The building will continue its role as a storm shelter and continue to be home to the Baldwin County Fair.
