The amphitheater for Norwayne Field in North Judson has been delivered and its size called for alternative storage options to be utilized.
Initially, the plan was to temporarily store it in the park garage, but at Monday’s town council meeting, Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe stated that it was a bit too big for that. Town Superintendent Marshall Horstmann said they were able to store part of it where they originally planned and another portion is being stored in a building out on Railroad Street.
Rowe added that when the weather was nice, the concrete for the foundation was cut. He said there hasn’t been an official date set for installation. However, they’re shooting for March if the weather cooperates.
In a previous meeting, former clerk-treasurer Alicia Collins explained that the amphitheater was purchased with money from the community center committee, park beautification and fun day at the park funds for about $13,160. An additional $6,138 was set aside from the community center committee fund for future maintenance.
