Red Bank commissioner Ruth Jeno
The sound of live music may start wafting down Dayton Boulevard on weekend evenings later this year, thanks to funding the city of Red Bank has received to build an amphitheater in one of the public parks.
“This is just a wonderful thing for our city,” said Red Bank Commissioner Ruth Jeno, who lobbied local agencies for funding for the project.
The city’s commissioners voted 4-0 Tuesday night to accept $50,000 of funding for the park from the Red Bank and Soddy-Daisy Charitable Foundation and two Hamilton County commissioners.
The amphitheater will be built in the green space of the Red Bank city park located at Dayton Boulevard and Unaka Street, known by many as the “Kids’ Corner Park.”
The Red Bank Soddy-Daisy Foundation — which administers funds from the sale of Erlanger North — gave $30,000 for the project, while Hamilton County Commissioners Jim Fields and Joe Graham each gave $10,000 from their discretionary funds.
