Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory says the city receives praise for the Elizabethtown Sports Park from people around the country, and now the city is on to the next big thing.
“We’re in a very good position with the Elizabethtown Sports Park to start looking at our next new project that’s going to continue that trend,” Gregory said “To bring money in from people and bring tourism and tourists in from all over the country, and even other countries for that matter, that would have never come to Elizabethtown, Kentucky, to Hardin County, or this region of the state of Kentucky, that’s extremely important.”
That next new project is the outdoor music venue being constructed at Buffalo Lake, which Gregory and Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Bureau Executive Director Jana Clark provided an update on during the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce’s April luncheon Wednesday.
Gregory says the project accomplishes two goals for the city by creating an additional amenity for area residents as well as connecting Commerce Drive from Mulberry Street to Springfield Road.
Clark says when discussing the project with designers, E-Town Tourism wanted to create a guest experience that visitors would go away talking about.
“We needed a wow factor,” Clark said. “We don’t like to do stuff that people can do at any other place that they go. We needed a multi-use venue. We need to do stuff, more than just concerts. We also needed a venue where performers wanted to come.”
Clark says construction on the 10,000 seat venue is under way, with a goal for completion by October 2026. In the meantime, the city and E-Town Tourism want to hear from the community.
“Would your business like to partner with us at the amphitheater?” Clark said. “Do you have a product that you’d like to feature? Are you interested in a corporate box? Do you have a great idea for a name, or something that you’ve gone to another venue and you’ve done there that you would love for us to have here in this community?”
The Elizabethtown City Council this week approved an ordinance for general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $47 million for the project. The city says those bonds will be paid using proceeds from the music venue and other available resources. Contact E-Town Tourism for more information.
