The Milo Grogan Area Commission requested various improvements to the Milo Grogan Recreation Center and park through the Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund (UIRF) Program. Project managers from the Recreation and Parks Design and Construction team worked with the Area Commission and the Department of Development’s UIRF team to identify and prioritize the scope of improvements for the park. As a result, the proposed construction will replace demolished structures with a new shelter and add shelter amenities including park benches, a grill, a trash receptacle, landscaping, and a sidewalk. The sidewalk will connect the new shelter to the existing Milo Grogan Community Center and adjacent Starr and St. Clair streets. The new shelter and amenities will provide more outdoor recreational opportunities to Milo Grogan community members. All site work and shelter construction is scheduled to be complete by July 31, 2021. All landscaping and tree installation is scheduled to be completed by November 1, 2021. The project should be complete by December of 2021.
