Construction Update – Spring 2026

​ ​The Forward New Prague Foundation and its POPS Advisory Committee is excited that construction continues this spring after the foundation was installed last fall. The goal is to have the facility completed this fall, with the grand opening set for spring of 2027.

Construction of the above-ground structure will likely begin in May. If work continues at a “normal” pace, a possibility exists that the building will be completed around Labor Day. NO PROMISES, but if work proceeds at a reasonable pace, this is a likely possibility.

The summer concert series for this year will again be at Memorial Park. There will be NO summer concerts at POPS in 2026. The summer concert series will be at POPS starting in 2027, if all goes according to plan.

A tremendous shout-out to Eddie and his team at Shimota Project Management. His time (donated to the project as his contribution) has gone way above and beyond anything any of us had expected.
