Overview

This project will complete the plans from 2009 for the city’s Bicentennial Park, located at the corner of Vaughn Drive and West Street. Given the lack of dollars, the project will be split into 2 phases: Phase 1- Parking and site improvements in support of the permanent structure. Phase 2 - The Main Permanent Structure as envisioned, creating the only outdoor music venue in Jefferson County. The City and Redevelopment Commission will partner with the RDA on this project by providing the additional funding needed for the design/engineering and construction gap.The READI funds will be used towards the construction of the parking and site improvements. The approximate timeline is January 2023 through May 2024. Outcomes:The Indiana Music City Amphitheater parking improvements will transform a blighted surface parking lot into a multi-use space. The space will include improved walkability, added landscaping, a pocket park, and a parking destination for food trucks during events
