Peachtree City plans amphitheater upgrades

Repairs and upgrades are on the spring schedule for Peachtree City’s Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, also known as “The Fred.” Built in 1976 and renovated in 1989 after a fire, the 1,600-seat facility will get updated restrooms and new flooring in March before the first concert of the season in April. City Manager Jon Rorie said $226,470 of funds from the 2014 facilities bond will be spent over two years to also replace siding, roofing, awnings and fencing.

More construction will be done from mid-April until mid-May before the summer concert series begins.
