A woman who spoke to a Journal Sentinel reporter at the scene Friday afternoon declined to explain what was going on. She called the area an active construction site.

Several semi-trucks loaded with what appeared to be large pieces of metal could be seen being driven away from the site.

According to an earlier report from the Journal Sentinel, construction began early Thursday.

An electrical permit filed with the city for Veterans Park lists the event description as “Kamala Harris Rally.” Meanwhile, a noise permit for McKinley Marina north of Veterans Park lists “Harris for President” as the “responsible party” and a concert as the purpose of the event. The noise variance permit lists a date range of Wednesday through Monday.
