Dothan Community Center
The new facility will be on the campus of the Wiregrass Public Safety Center. This multi-purpose facility will be used for meetings of up to 600 people and will be available for public use by reservation.
The city credits Sen. Tommy Tuberville for assisting with the funding of this project, getting $7.75 million in federal funds. The city will name the community center’s auditorium after Tuberville’s father, Charles R. Tuberville Jr.
“Senator Tuberville played a large role in securing the funds for this building. As a part of our appreciation we are naming the auditorium after his father who was a decorated WWII veteran.”
