Plans are underway to develop a $1 million outdoor venue at The Gathering Place in Milton.
The chairwoman of the resource development committee at the Gathering Place, Diane Pillard says the Gathering Green would include a new pavilion, concession stand, restrooms, paved walking trail and 24-stall parking lot.
Dave Fisher, executive director of The Gathering Place, said Milton has no place for an outdoor wedding that could accommodate 250 people.
The Gathering Green also would be used for The Gathering Place monthly Concerts on the Lawn, scheduled May through August.
Pillard says development of The Gathering Green started about five years ago. The original plan was more than $2 million and included a conference center. After deciding Milton couldn’t afford that and would need a hotel, she said the plan was shelved for about three years.
About $175,000 has been pledged by businesses and individuals so far.
