Columbus, OH — Repair work has already begun at the Hawkinsville, Ga., training facility that was damaged earlier this month by a severe thunderstorm.
According to Hawkinsville City Manager Jerry Murkerson, the renovation will be completed not later than September 30, in time for horsemen to return for the winter season.
“We want everyone to be assured that our facility will be ready for this winter training season,” said Murkerson. “We have a very large contingent of contractors already on site and (they are) beginning the reconstruction of the stall barns.”
