Amphitheater & Greenspace presented for downtown
New public greens could become a feature in downtown. Working for the state, designers Joey Furr, Sit Wong and Gary Dunn presented a plan this morning for the space now occupied by the A.Z. Young building. Located cater-corner to the state Capitol, the old building is set to be razed after two new state buildings open in downtown this summer. The designers propose a greenspace with an amphitheater for the land. The greenspace would extend to the LaSalle Building, which is on Third Street. Lafayette Street, which curves through the space, could be closed for festivals.
