Concessions will accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, debit cards, Apply Pay and Google Wallet. Cash will not be accepted.

Wicomico Civic Center to undergo $9.8M renovation

The Wicomico Civic Center will break ground on a long-awaited $9.8 million renovation later this month.

In the spring of 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) announced a $5.5 million federal grant to make major improvements to the now 45-year-old venue.

The federal grant funds will be combined with $4.3 million in state and local funding.

"The planned improvements will total more than $9.8 million, representing the single largest investment in this building since it was rebuilt after the fire," said Steve Miller, director of Wicomico Recreation, Parks & Tourism. "We are hopeful that this investment will attract new events and generate additional economic activity in the county."

Plans include an expanded box office and lobby, safety barriers along the north and west sides of the venue, improved wayfinding, improved ADA access, an expanded food court and better connectivity between the Civic Center and the Wicomico High School campus.

The project is expected to be complete in roughly one year.
