A grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 5:00 p.m. at the new Roth Community Pavilion located in Lower Courthouse Park on South Main Street in Janesville, Wisconsin. The project began this spring with the collaboration of South Central Wisconsin Builders Association, Forward Janesville and the City of Janesville. The ceremony will include brief presentations from a variety of speakers to highlight the importance of this facility to the Roth Family, to ongoing downtown revitalization efforts, and to the citizens and businesses throughout Janesville.
The pavilion is named after Marvin W. Roth, formerly known as “Mr. Janesville”. Mr. Roth was highly involved in the Janesville community, serving in his time as the Executive Director of the Janesville Chamber of Commerce (known as Forward Janesville today) and the President of the Janesville City Council. He was also involved in the Blackhawk Golden K Kiwanis Club and Janesville Kiwanis Club and other community organizations. Mr. Roth also worked with Roth & Holdorf Builders to develop numerous subdivisions and houses in Janesville.

Ryan family, Angus Young Architects, Paulson Kimball Construction, Lycon, Inc., Westphal & Company, Inc., JP Cullen, Webco, Inc., Data Dimensions, T. Fanning Concrete and Fanning Excavating.
