Deal reached on Georgia Sports Hall of Fame lease

MACON, Ga. (AP) - The Development Authority of Bibb County has agreed to sign a resolution that should mean the museum will remain open in Macon for the next year.

The authority agreed on Tuesday to sign a resolution approving a lease of the hall from the state to the authority.

It also approved an agreement between the authority and NewTown Macon, which will take over management of the hall.

The Telegraph newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/sV6xFr ) attorney Chix Miller says the lease runs for one year with options for two more years. Miller says the Peyton Anderson Foundation has already paid for the first year.

Nearly two years ago, the state put out a request for proposals to take over the sports hall and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, which was closed in June.
