NASHVILLE — With shovels in hand, smiling in the sunshine, community members, public officials and project organizers broke ground on a new, 2,000-seat music venue in Brown County.
The Maple Leaf Performing Arts Center is expected to open next summer, off State Road 46 in the area of the Hawthorne Drive stoplight.
Concert promoter Live Nation is expected to book 26 shows a year at the venue, with a yet-to-be-hired executive director booking the rest.
