McEuen open house May 5

COEUR d’ALENE — Questions? Comments?

An open house for the McEuen Field project will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 5 in the Community Room of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, the first public meeting on the project since its estimated price tag, $23 million to $39 million, was announced last week.

The park’s conceptual designers and steering committee members who helped craft the plan will be on hand to answer questions or receive feedback with the public.

Drawings outlining the project in its current state and what modifications it underwent along the way will be on display, as well as itemized costs on all the perks.

The open house will not have an open-mic format for public comment.

City Administrator Wendy Gabriel said the city of Coeur d’Alene will decide after the open house what the next public format for the project will be.

Public commenting portions will be part of the meeting when the topic comes to the City Council, as well as when it goes to the Lake City Development Corp., the urban renewal agency that will likely decide to fund a portion of the project should the project be implemented.
