Ponca City's Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a contract with the Ponca City School Board Monday night for the construction of a concert hall on the site of the former Hutchins Memorial Auditorium.

The School Board previously approved the agreement. City Manager Craig Stephenson said the demolition of the former auditorium is well on its way to completion and the contractor expects to be finished with the project by Friday, Oct. 28, barring any delays.

This date would be two weeks ahead of schedule.
