OTTAWA, Ill.–A proposed amphitheater here now has a new name after Financial Plus Credit Unionand the city of Ottawa agreed to a 15-year, $750,000 deal.
Ottawa mayor Robert Hasty announced the deal at the 2026 State of the City event.
“This agreement is more than a sponsorship,” Mayor Robert said during a State of the City event. “It is a vote of confidence. It is your local community credit union investing, not just in a structure, but in the people who will gather there, from the families who will bring lawn chairs and the kids who will dance near the stage, to the artist who will perform in the shared experience that strengthens a community.”
Hasty said that this agreement goes back over a year ago when he met with the CEO of the $580.2-million Financial Plus Credit Union, Peter Fauth.
‘Excited to be Part of Community’
“We’re just really excited to be part of the community effort here through this project,” Fauth said in a statement. “This amphitheater bringing arts and entertainment, and cultural activity into the city of Ottawa is really exciting to us and we’re really happy to be a part of that.”
The city said it is entering the final stages of design for the facility.
