Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The officers of the Broadway Corridor Coalition submitted a District Improvement Program application to provide matching funds for an Ohio Facilities Construction Commission grant. The District Improvement Review Committee convened on July 31, 2023, and recommended approval of this application in an amount of $75,000.
The purpose of the project is to create a venue for artists, performances, concerts, public gatherings, and outdoor educational classes for the Old South End neighborhood. The amphitheater structure will be connected to the community and the other recreational amenities at the park with a fully accessible trail.
