SUMMARY: Columbia County commissioners approved a $9.7 million project to build a 17,000-square-foot, two-story event center with storage for the Columbia County Performing Arts Center (CCPAC). Since CCPAC opened in 2021, storage has been insufficient, causing logistical challenges. The new facility’s first floor will offer storage and special event space, while the second floor will feature a large ballroom for weddings, banquets, and corporate events. This addition will free the PAC for ticketed performances and accommodate smaller events separately. Construction is expected to begin within two months and finish by the end of 2026, supporting local growth and event needs.
