Commission hears introduction to Greenwood Field House plaza planning; $1.5 million Ready 2 grant noted
Summary
Staff introduced early-stage planning for a civic plaza in front of the Greenwood Field House and said the city was awarded a $1.5 million Ready 2 grant to support design; no formal action was taken.
Commissioners received an introductory briefing on planning for a civic plaza at the Greenwood Field House. Staff said the field house was built several years ago and the area in front of it now is largely grass and basic drainage; the commission has long anticipated a more developed civic space.
Staff said the city was awarded a $1,500,000 Ready 2 grant to support the plaza design and described a multi-phase approach: spending down earlier Ready 1 funds, developing concepts, and scaling the final plan to match likely budget availability. Staff said the commission would see a more detailed presentation and design ideas at the next meeting.
No motion or formal vote was taken on the plaza design at this meeting; staff characterized this item as an introduction to future work and said they will return with a presentation and budget alignment in a subsequent meeting.
