9/8/14 - A project to construct an outdoor amphitheater in Milford is nearing completion. Work began in mid-July on the AMP in Central Park project, which is funded through community and business donations. Organizers expect completion of the terraces and pavilion by the end of the month. It's in an area of the park where a natural slope occurs in the land and already functions similar to an amphitheater according to Milford Downtown Development Authority Director Ann Barnette. Able-bodied volunteers are being sought for a work session next weekend to install irrigation components of the amphitheater. Although the project should be complete by the end of the month, Barnette says it wonât be ready for use until next spring since they will be seeding the lawn and giving the site some time to establish. The AMP in Central Park project is a three-fold partnership between the Milford DDA, the Rotary Club of Milford and the Huron Valley Chamber of Commerce. Fundraising efforts are continuing for the second phase, which will address a long-term community goal to provide public restrooms for visitors that Central Park currently lacks. Details on how to volunteer or donate are available through the link below as well as the AMP in Central Park Facebook page. (JM)
