CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AXIOS) - The city of Charlotte is considering a $25 million redesign of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, a project that aims to bolster its educational offerings and events.

In a presentation Monday to Charlotte City Council members, NASCAR Hall of Fame officials said the public investment would modernize the facility and create new classroom and event spaces to expand its programming.

This would be the biggest renovation since the museum opened in 2010.

Construction costs are estimated between $12 million and $15 million, with the remaining funds spent on “soft costs,” such as design, permitting and furniture, according to the presentation.
