Update to Centennial Park Soccer Field Pavilion
History
On February 18, 2019, the Village Board of Trustees approved a request to waive the bid process by utilizing US Communities Purchasing Cooperative and award the purchase and delivery of an Ultra Site All Steel Gable End Shelter, twenty-four feet by forty-four feet (24’x44’) with an eight-foot (8’) eave (see 2019-0081).
