CENTERVILLE — Later today the City of Centerville will be hosting a public open house to discuss improvement plans for Benham’s Grove.

The open house will be from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Centerville Police Department Training room on W. Spring Valley Road.

This meeting will discuss how they plan to upgrade the Victorian homestead like adding more space accessible to guests, according to a release from the city.

These improvements include a new building that will allow Benham’s Grove to host weddings and other events concurrently year-round.

“Moving away from a rented outdoor tent and constructing a new building allows us to nearly double our event season. I essentially turn away thousands of guests each year because our current grounds cannot accommodate large groups in colder months,” Benham’s Grove Administrator Randal Bishop said.

The release went on to say that the improvement project is currently in the design phase and a public bidding project is anticipated for September.
