Public given opportunity to weigh in on the future of the Mitchell Park Domes

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Time is running out to decide the fate of the Mitchell Park Domes.

A meeting was held on Tuesday to give the public the opportunity to weigh in on the future of the Milwaukee County landmark.

Several options were discussed, some that could cost the county millions.

The Domes see more than 200,000 visitors each year.

Repairing the structures would help maintain tourism in the area. Most of the comments made were in support of keeping the Domes.

"I think the Domes are representative of Milwaukee, therefore they should be preserved in the shape that they are whether it's just to take care of maintenance that should have been done a long time ago or perhaps expanding a little bit on the education goal," one person said.

The next public meeting is set for July 10.
