BESSEMER - Could a New Recreational Facility Could Be in Bessemer’s Future

The Bessemer Downtown Development Authority (DDA) voted on the 10th to propose buying land from the Bessemer City Council to build two pickleball courts on main street. Mark Serwe, DDA’s City Council representative, volunteered to gather court specifications.

The board also voted to hold a special meeting on October 8th to evaluate any bids received for the project.
