(La Porte, IN) - Things could be a bit warmer in the winter and somewhat cooler in the summer at the Civic Auditorium. The La Porte Board of Public Works & Safety today approved the purchase of four ceiling fans for use in the facility.
Park Department Superintendent, Mark Schreiber, says the fans will circulate heat better during the winter but the difference in temperature should be noticed more in the summer when things can get pretty warm inside the hallowed century old Civic Auditorium which does not have air conditioning. He said the fans should reduce the temperature inside the building by as much as 10 degrees in the summer.
Schreiber says the fans also come with an air filtration system designed to reduce the chances of infection from COVID-19. Federal COVID-19 relief dollars are being used in the over $39,000 purchase.
