Director of the Otis Redding Foundation, Justin Andrews, says the gift from the Peyton Anderson Foundation will go towards completing construction of the center.
“They’ve always believed in us, and they’ve always wanted to support it,” Andrews said. “We’re so excited for their support and for them to be a part of this project, and we can’t wait for it to get done next year. And we could open this thing up and let everybody come in and be able to see it.”
The center will be located on the corner of Cherry Street and Cotton Avenue. It’s expected to be completed by next year.
