On Tuesday, April 13, the Teton Valley Foundation Board of Directors voted unanimously to present the 2010 Music on Main concert series at Victor City Park in downtown Victor, pending Victor's approval of the necessary city ordinances.
According to a press release issued Thursday morning, "this decision was made following a thorough review of the proposals and subsequent clarification of details of each proposal. This decision was not taken lightly; therefore additional time was needed for the board to make a fully informed decision."
For the past few months, the Teton Valley Foundation has been considering sites in Driggs and Victor, and last month suggested the possibility of having the concert series split between the two cities, with three weeks in Driggs and three weeks in Victor.
Music on Main began in Driggs at the site where the Colter building now stands. Last year, Driggs officials dug up the parking lot in front of the city building, put grass down and hosted the concerts on city property.
"We want to thank Mayor Dan Powers, Mayor Scott Fitzgerald, the Driggs and Victor City Councils, and all the staff and committee members for the time and effort they put in to creating several excellent proposals for Music on Main venues," said TVF Executive Director, Jeff Potter. "We also thank everyone involved for their patience and understanding throughout this process. A final decision was delayed until now because we felt we owed it to the City of Driggs, our gracious host for the first four seasons of Music on Main, additional time to seek clarity on some critical issues."
"Victor City Park is a beautiful, grassy park with ample space to accommodate the growing crowds at Music on Main," Potter said. "Victor City Park is centrally located near businesses, has adequate on-site facilities for producing the concerts, requires no capital improvements, and is a long-term location that is not subject to development or potential changes in use. Based on the proposals submitted and the details that were identified throughout the process, we are confident that this is the best decision for the continued growth and success of the Music on Main Concert Series."
"We look forward to seeing all the same familiar faces every Thursday, and hopefully many new ones, at the 2010 Music on Main Concert Series in Victor City Park beginning July 15."
