The space <br />also includes a renovated stage area. <br />The gymnasium lobby is now home to the Cleveland County Hall <br />of Fame, recognizing persons or teams who have made the best <br />contribution or brought positive recognition to the community. <br />With renovations to the main entrance, administration, gym, <br />aerobics room, and restrooms, the Shelby Community Park Center is <br />poised to serve the Shelby residents for another fifty years. <br />Statistics <br />Project Area: <br />Date of Completion: <br />Project Manager: <br />Original Contract Amount: <br />Number of Change Orders: <br />Total Amount of Change Orders <br />19,000 Sq Ft (renovated) <br />December 2005 <br />Stan Anthony <br />$961,281 <br />4 <br />$267,747 <br />* *Under same contract as Holly Oak Park <br />
