Just because — lots of talk about (finally) moving forward with a major renovation of the theatre. From the press release:
“The RFEI envisions a wide array of possible uses, such as a commercial theater, a not-for-profit cultural institution, a gallery and auction house, a television and motion picture production facility, residential units, a hotel, restaurants, a community facility and retail establishments. Development opportunities for the adjacent City-owned parcels may include decking over the parcels or transfer of surplus development rights from the theater to the parcels, or the parcels to the theater. Respondents may also plan redevelopment of the adjacent City-owned parcels, provided their submissions recognize and adequately address certain existing agreements.”
I have to say, the possibilities seem endless, lets hope whatever the outcome, it provides access the to beauty of the building, is good for the community, and is not just about lining the pockets of developers.
