New Managers of Civic include Elite Basketball Team Owner

A press conference will be held on Monday to announce the management company to take over the running of the brand new thirty-three million dollars Civic Center. The construction of the state-of-the-art facility, which has five courts and can be used as a hurricane shelter, concluded since last year, but its opening had been put on holding pending the award of the contract. Now the company that has been picked is Apex Events Limited, which is owned by Chad Eckert, whose local partners in Belize are Lucinda Castillo and Reynaldo Malic, the co-owner of the Belize Defenders Basketball Team. We’ll have more details of this on Monday.
