And more is coming! Earlier this month, the Irvine City Council and the Great Park Board approved the setup and operation of the temporary Great Park amphitheater, Great Park Live, preserving live music in Irvine! The venue will also serve as a community and entertainment hub, with plans for a variety of cultural programming, entertainment, and food and beverage offerings. The venue will be a home for community events, providing an area for neighbors, attendees, and visitors to enjoy refreshments during sports tournaments or a day spent at the park. In tandem with the development of Great Park Live, our team is advancing the world-class permanent amphitheater. Late last year, staff was directed to devise plans for a permanent amphitheater capable of hosting up to 10,000 attendees. We are now selecting an architect for the design, appointing an operator to manage the venue, and cementing our partnership with the Pacific Symphony as the City’s resident orchestra. This work underscores our commitment to enriching Irvine’s cultural landscape and providing unparalleled experiences for our community and visitors alike. Everything I mentioned today, is not possible without the unwavering commitment of our dedicated city staff; the backbone of Irvine and our greatest asset. We’ve worked tirelessly to ensure our workforce is diverse, skilled, and motivated, reflecting the community they serve. It’s a testament to our belief in the power of community and the importance of public service. Work is not only contained within the walls of city hall. A healthy budget, compassionate programming, meals for our seniors, well-maintained roads, clean landscapes, stop signs, children playing on safe and inclusive playgrounds, and an opportunity to make memories… You may not see this work being done…but our staff is carefully and thoughtfully instituting unmatched services to ensure our community experiences an exceptional quality of life.
