The city is hosting three open house events to discuss the future Diamond District. Attendees will help shape the public aspects of the development.

According to an updated timeline from April, ground should be broken on the new baseball diamond in June. Stadium construction would then begin in the fall. Private developments would begin construction in early 2025.

The meetings will concentrate on the city-owned portions of the development, like streets, parks, and open spaces. There will be one in-person and two virtual events.

  • Virtual session | Wednesday, May 8 | 6 p.m.
  • In-person | Thursday, May 9 | 5 p.m. | Leigh Street Training Facility
  • Virtual session | Tuesday, May 14 | 6 p.m.

Register for a session.
