Inscription. In 2011 work was completed to improve the environment of the Naperville Community Concert Center, including the replacement of the seating, improved lighting, renovation to the gazebo, and regrading of the seating area to allow a more comfortable viewing experience for those attending events on the Naperville Community Concert Center stage.

Using input from the community, a working group consisting of the Naperville Municipal Band, Naperville Park District, and the City of Naperville guided the improvements made for this project.

This project was made possible by a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. This grant was obtained through the generous support of State Representative Jim Meyer to improve the seating for the Community Concert Center.
