Groundbreaking Ceremony Scheduled for Heritage Center Park Project

The Marathon City 2020 Ltd. board is hosting an official groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the start of construction for the Heritage Center Park Project in the Village of Marathon City. The ceremony will be held Saturday, September 1 at 10a at the Heritage Center, and is intended to be part of the Marathon City Fun Days Weekend festivities. All are welcome to attend. Complimentary refreshments will be available.

MC2020 has initiated a campaign to transform the worn-out parking lot and abandoned bank drive-thru on the Heritage Center property into an environmentally friendly and inviting greenspace. This “pocket park” will feature a covered stage, raised planting beds with built-in seating, a transitional area for additional seating or entertainment, bike racks and more so it can serve as a multifunctional place for education, relaxation, entertainment, and cultural attractions. MC2020 has already corrected issues with the Heritage Center's front cornice and installed a new visually appealing sign.
