Harlem Community Amphitheater Under Construction In Tree Park

Clewiston, FL - Recently, U.S. Sugar and Harlem community leaders gathered to announce the start of construction on a community amphitheater. Located in the Janet B. Taylor Community Tree Park in Harlem, the amphitheater will soon become the centerpiece for community gatherings for local residents, church organizations, and other civic groups. The construction of the amphitheater has been made possible through support from U.S. Sugar.

Constructing the amphitheater in partnership with U.S. Sugar is David's Carpentry & Concrete, a local, family-owned contracting and construction company. The park was dedicated in October 2022 in honor of longtime Florida leader and former Hendry County Commissioner Janet B. Taylor. U.S. Sugar donated the land in perpetuity, and it will remain in this location for generations to enjoy.

“What started as a vision for our community is now becoming a wonderful reality thanks to U.S. Sugar,” said Janet Taylor. “Soon, our community will have a place to celebrate during holidays and gather on weekends while listening to music.”

The amphitheater in Harlem is the company’s latest community project, and follows support for the new community garden in Harlem, modernization of the C.S. Mott community pool in Clewiston, and renovation of the Charles E. Wetherald Youth Center in Clewiston. Completion of the amphitheater is projected for this summer.
