The cost to repair the Greater Columbus Convention Center after a burst water main could reach $3 million, an official said yesterday.
But the repair work is progressing and the Arnold Sports Festival, which is expected to attract 155,000 people, likely will be on solid ground when the three-day event starts a week from Friday.
“We use every square inch of that building,” said Jim Lorimer, director of the Arnold. “They were swimming in the water, but I was in there the other day and it was looking very good. We are just minimally displaced.”
