Parks Director provides update on Noyes Complex Building project
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- After almost a week of being closed, St. Joseph Parks Director Jeff Atkins is providing an update on a project at the Noyes Complex.
News-Press NOW previously reported, the temporary closure is due to the installation of lights at the tennis horseshoe courts.
Once the service in the area is restored, the building will be available for public use.
The plan is to take down the old metal halide fixtures and replace them with more modern LED lighting, which is cheaper and will glow brighter.
“Update wise, the building has been shut down for at least a week now," Atkins said. "So, hopefully within a week we can get them back up for public use again. But even when its closed you can still come play tennis.”.
Atkins says the only reason they had to temporarily close the building is because they just finished putting new surfaces on the courts.
“The only update I have is that they are proceeding... we have got them relighting it and they won’t be doing any trenching around the tennis courts,” Atkins said.
Although it is an inconvenience during reconstruction work to access the park, it is in the best interest of the public as the modern facility installation takes place.
Officials are planning for a few more renovation works that are coming up in the next few months.
