8/25/14 - Favorable input from the public is said to be pushing a project forward in the city of Howell that will serve the community years to come. The Howell Main Street DDA has created a concept for a splash pad and ice rink in the amphitheater located next to the historic Livingston County Courthouse. Howell Main Street DDA board President Eric Conn says the concept created is one that will be sympathetic to the great history of Howell and the courthouse. He says the intent is to work with the county and city to create a year round meeting place and attraction in the center of Howell. The concept is said to have broad-based support from several willing investors and local businesses that stand to benefit from the increased use of the space. The Main Street DDA office is also in the process of conducting a community survey and the majority respondents were said to be in favor of the idea. Conn says the changes proposed for the project should also improve the experience of the popular concerts at the courthouse and provide for better seating, acoustics and easier access to and from the event.
