It has been a while since my last post but we have some good news to share.
As you know, we were awarded an assistance grant from the National Park Service. They have been reaching out to local organizations to get their feedback on how to best use the village-owned property known as Altenheim, concerning what type of green space amenities should be developed.
They are, not, however directly addressing the performing arts venue included in our Cultural Park Concept.
They have now entered the public outreach phase of their research and are seeking opinions from the general public. They will have tables set up at the events with an Activities/Amenities poster and an Opportunities/Concerns poster for people to leave feedback. They will also have some pictures and images of the site.
As of today, the scheduled community outreach events are at the following dates/times:
Forest Park, Park District, 7501 Harrison St, Forest Park, IL 60130
Saturday, June 30th - 11am-2pm
Saturday, August 4th - 11am-2pm
Public Library 7555 Jackson Blvd, Forest Park, IL 60130
Wednesday, July 25th - 4pm-7pm
Wednesday, August 8th - 4pm-7pm
It is important that supporters of the Cultural Park Concept, including a performing arts venue, attend these meetings to voice their opinions and raise questions on how the property should be utilized.
Please plan on attending one or more of these meetings, your input is essential to moving this concept forward.
I hope to see you there.
