The Central Meadow Stage Study will look at the feasibility of an events stage within the Central Meadow that would be owned and managed by Pierce County Parks and Recreation. The Stage Study is not part of the resort development. For questions related to the proposed resort development please contact Don Anderson in the Executive’s Office. His phone number is 253-798-7464. You can also get details at the Chambers Bay Resort home page on the Pierce County website: www.piercecounty.wa/gov/chambersbayresort
The Central Meadow Stage Study will: • Focus only on the Central Meadow • Explore alternatives to support more diverse activities & events • Address existing accessibility / ADA issues • Evaluate acoustical and noise control considerations • Evaluate existing parking capacity (additional parking is not in scope) • Evaluate traffic management for events (street changes are not in scope)
