HUNTSVILLE – Construction will soon begin on the third phase of Huntsville’s Sandra Moon Community Complex.

The City of Huntsville awarded a $3,381,700 contract Thursday night to Lambert Contracting for the work. It is expected to be complete in the fall.

“This phase focuses on the landscaping, decorative lighting and walkability components of this community amenity, but the exciting component is the new playground,” said City Administrator John Hamilton. “This beautiful new play space for children is in partnership with Madison County District 4 Commissioner Phil Riddick, who, contributed $180,000 toward this effort.”

The final phase of work at the facility will include renovations to the performing arts and recreation spaces inside the former Grissom High School building.
