Construction of an arts amphitheater and exhibition space is underway at the grounds of the Sara Hightower Regional Library.
According to Floyd County Manager Jamie McCord, the roof of the performance area at the Sennett Amphitheater was being installed last week.
The project is made possible through a gift from Dr. and Mrs. Charles Sennett in memory of their son, Charles “Chuck” Sennett III.
Chuck died in a plane crash in 1995 and was well known for his aerial photography. He had won several awards for his work, including two international competitions.
The Rome Area Council for the Arts is overseeing all aspects of design and construction of the space.
Upon completion, the facility will showcase the talents of local arts organizations, groups, and community members.
Back on September 19th of 2023, the Amphitheater’s groundbreaking took place at the Rome-Floyd County Library. You can see our video by WRGA’s Ethan Garrett covering that down below:
