Bids have been approved for an expansion of the Cross Hollow Events Center in Cedar City, according to arena manager Scott Christensen in a report published October 15. The project includes the construction of a new covered outdoor arena measuring 150 by 225 feet, which will be located between the facility's recent addition and the existing outdoor arena.
The facility has seen increased activity following a recent addition. Arena crew member Joseph Morris stated the facility has been busy every weekend since that addition was completed. Christensen noted that the new covered arena will allow the center to host events during the early fall and early spring seasons.
Christensen said the events held at the center bring visitors from outside the area for durations of two to six days. These visitors contribute to the local economy by spending money at area businesses, motels, and restaurants.
