But due to the questions about Kettering’s revenues because of the coronavirus, it is postponing construction plans for the park, estimated to cost $1.4 million, said Steve Bergstresser, assistant city manager.
The tree removal work was done earlier this year and the final project concept design was moving forward until COVID-19 arrived, records state.
Gentile Park was originally budgeted for design and construction in 2012-2013, according to city records.
An architectural firm was selected, and it completed the final concept drawings.
“However, due to a variety of circumstances with the property the project was postponed. Construction documents were never created,” city records show.
