The Community Theatre will seat 300 people in a building of approximately 9,000 square feet. 1 He stated they have no money to clear the site and want the City Commissioners to consider doing this for the theatre; however, their main objective today is to get the City Commission approval of the preliminary plans, so the architect can go ahead with the final design of the building. The City Commissioners asked several questions concerning parking, office space for the Cultural Arts, a basement which may be used by the community, and other items.
