In an agreement with the Lombard Park District the Village purchased the stage and the Park District agreed to store it and manage its use. Both the Park District and our Public Works Department feel the stage is no longer safe for community use. After research of rental compared to purchase, it was estimated that rental cost exceeded the cost of purchase.
