Out with the old

The old, wooden bleachers at Carter County High School have been removed and installation of new ones was completed last week. The bleachers previously posed a safety risk as locking mechanisms were failing. The new, plastic bleachers donned in Bulldog blue have additional handicap areas and hand rails on the stairs. Additionally, they are equipped with a remote and electronics, making "pulling" them out a breeze. The bid for the installation was just under $60,000.
