Island stage upgrades start

Construction is set to begin Monday to “rejuvenate” the Waterfront Island Stage.

Crews will demolish the existing stage, infill a portion of the lagoon and construct a new stage.

The project is expected to be completed next spring, providing “an asset for local events, festivals and programs in the park.”

The multi-use pathway from Sunset Drive through Rotary Marsh Park and Concession Plaza will be closed temporarily as well as some Waterfront Park pathways.

The project is expected to cost $1 million.
