That work includes upgrades to the amphitheater, restrooms, bowl, vehicular and pedestrian circulation and signage, according to Centerville records.

The amphitheater hosts the city’s free summer concert series, which was cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The concert series is scheduled to open this year June 6 and follow any COVID-19 protocols in place, according to the city.
