Press release from the City of Clearwater: 10/22/2021 11:09 AM CLEARWATER, Fla. – Residents may notice more construction activity than normal in Downtown Clearwater in the coming weeks with a series of trucks carrying fill dirt to the Imagine Clearwater project. Roughly 65,000 cubic yards of dirt will be brought to the site on more than 4,000 trucks. The material is being used to elevate the site to lift new buildings out of the flood zone and to accommodate new grading needed for design features. The public is encouraged to view progress on the Imagine Clearwater project on live webcams the city has set up overlooking the construction site at myclearwater.com/imagine. Imagine Clearwater is an investment in the redevelopment of Downtown Clearwater and its waterfront – including construction of a new 4,000-seat covered amphitheater in Coachman Park – that will be a must-see destination point in the Tampa Bay area. Designed to connect the waterfront and the Downtown Clearwater community, Imagine Clearwater includes an expansive park and recreational spaces, a gateway plaza and bluff walk that connects the park to downtown, a bay walk promenade overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, a lake area with picnic shelters, and an ocean-themed play area with an interactive pop-jet water feature. The additions to Coachman Park also include the amphitheater which will accommodate a year-round performance schedule that promises to continue the city of Clearwater's reputation as a premier location for diverse live entertainment.
