The city has asked for bids for the construction of a new music pavilion, a new service building, landscaping, a water feature and for the removal and replanting of trees.
Bids are due on Aug. 10, and the construction project is supposed to be complete by May 14, 2018. Concerts are expected to kick off next year .
“The city, Levitt national and the Friends of Levitt Pavilion Dayton are confident enough in our ability to close the gap that we are moving forward with the bidding process,” said Jeff Ireland, chair of the Friends of Levitt board. “If the bid process (and final fundraising) goes as expected, we should see work beginning in September.”
