Mold closes recreation center

BALLLANTYNE, NC — The 521 Recreation Center where 75 children play each day has been closed until the problem causing the mold can be fixed and the facility properly cleaned, according to WCNC-TV.

Though nobody has become sickened by the mold or even complained about it, the recreation center does not want to take chances and is taking all of the necessary steps to ensure proper remediation, the story stated.

The remediation project to rid the mold commonly found outdoors will cost $30,000 to $50,000 and will take upwards of four weeks to complete, the story noted.

The Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation budget will cover funding for the project that will displace several afterschool activities normally held at the center, the story added.
