The AMP is tracking about $157,000 over budget for 2026, though not over the overall project cost. The city received $50,000 in state funding, the mayor is organizing a naming-rights fundraising campaign, and federal funding is still pending. Council Member Coffey asked for quarterly updates.

City Council - Apr 9, 2026
Council approved two no-bid design contracts for the AMP, and the city breaks ground this Sunday. Two grant applications are still pending that could offset costs.
Public Improvements Committee - Apr 9, 2026
The amphitheater project is moving from design to build, with construction starting Monday, April 13 after a rain delay. Two contracts keep the architects involved through construction and advance a bike trail spur connecting to the Hike and Bike path.
