September 2023

On Tuesday, September 12th, the Blair County Commissioners hosted a ribbon cutting at the NEW amphitheater now open at Valley View County Park in Altoona. Keller Engineers was honored to be part of this project.



This amphitheater replaced the existing performance deck with a three-sided bandshell. The facility includes new electrical service, lighting, and water. It also features two rain gardens, paved parking, and a paved walking path from the parking area which provides Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant accessibility to an ADA seating area.
