CONWAY — The town recreation department’s new digs at Kennett Middle School are expected to be open in time for summer camp, according to Rec Director John Eastman.
He said the project will include several key features thanks to the fundraising chops and generosity of Friends of Conway Recreation, although money is still needed for a stage and acoustics.
