A plaza may surround the Minnesota Orchestra Concert Hall building now being built. The Peavey company is giving money towards this project, which will be eventually be called the Peavey Park Plaza. The concert hall will finish being constructed first, and is scheduled to open in October 1974. Donald P. Engle, President of the Minnesota Orchestral Association, says he can see possibilities for presenting summer concerts in this space.
The park construction begins summer of 1974. A parking ramp should be finished sometime in 1975. Loring Park is to be connected via a pedestrian walkway to the Westminster Presbyterian Church in a mall extension.
