The town council at a recent workshop heard a proposal from
the Fort Williams Advisory Commission to construct a new

at Fort Williams Park. The council asked the commission to review
the phasing of the project so that demolition of the bleachers could be
done as a first phase with actual construction of an amphitheater to
occur in about two years. The commission reviewed a
consultant's estimate to remove the bleachers at a cost of $120,000 including contingency and fees and has provided its
recommendation. The
town manager has also asked the consultant for a modified proposal
that would retain for now the small section of the bleachers used for

and while still planning for the amphitheater. The proposal will
be distributed and posted online when available.
