HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The event venue at Ditto Landing is one step closer to completion.
During a Madison County Commission meeting on April 23, the commission awarded a contract to build the venue to Lee Builders.
Plans for the event venue were first announced back in October 2023. Madison County and Huntsville city leaders estimated the cost to be about $10 million.
The project will include using the bones of the old State Docks building for the main event venue and building a secondary venue from scratch.
Once completed, the main venue will be used for concerts, weddings and large events. The smaller venue will be used for a restaurant.
District 5 Commissioner Phil Riddick said he is excited that the project is moving forward.
“Well, you know that’s real exciting,” Riddick said. “We’ve been talking about Ditto improvements for years down there and we have a master plan and this is apart of that master plan so the more activities that we can have down there, the more people we will draw to the river and we have a great resource down there just really excited to be able to expand and improve that facility down there.”
Construction could start as early as June. If that timeline holds, construction could wrap up by October 2026.
