PLANS FOR MURRYSVILLE AMPITHEATER PUT ON HOLD

Plans for an Ampitheater and recreation space at Murrysville Community Park have been put on long-term hold after the cost ballooned past 2 million dollars over the past few years. Last week municipal officials opted to return the 623 thousand dollar grant to the state and postpone plans for the amphitheater and accompanying amenities like restrooms and additional parking. Murrysville Chief Administrator Michael Nestico said returning the grant doesn’t affect Murrysville’s eligibility for future funding.
