Amphitheater Planned for Flatwoods

Skidmore Development Inc. is seeking the state's help in building an amphitheater off Interstate 79 in Braxton County that will showcase regional performers. The amphitheater is estimated to cost nearly $1 million and is expected to be open for its first show in May 2006. The planned amphitheater will offer 1,438 plastic stadium seats along with a grass seating area for a total capacity of about 2,000 people.
