On Thursday, April 29, 2010, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski presided over the rededication of the Malcolm Gross Rose Garden Ceremony. The rose garden is currently undergoing numerous improvements. The improvement project includes installation of fully accessible walkways, new arbors, re-pointing entranceway steps and refurbishing many statues, memorials, as well as restoring original plaques and the bust of the former Mayor Malcolm W. Gross, for whom the gardens are named after. Mayor Malcolm W. Gross played a prominent role in the development of the Rose Gardens as well as in the City of Allentown in the 1930's.
 
In attendance at the rededication ceremony were three generations of the Gross Family: Attorney Malcolm J. Gross - grandson of Malcolm W. Gross; Attorney Jack Gross, great-grandson of Malcolm W. Gross; and Graham Gross, the great-great grandson of Malcolm W. Gross. The Gross family continues to support Allentown community projects and all were humbled to be a part of the rededication ceremony.
