Citizens Committee Recommends Building New Performing Arts Center, Looks Forward to Citizens Seeing Choices for Century II Building vs. Community Gathering Space

The Century II Citizens Advisory Committee was proud to present the results of its work, on behalf of our fellow citizens, to outline a path forward for performing arts facilities that can serve our community with excellence for decades to come.

The committee’s recommendations combine inspiration and ambition with practicality and accountability. The plan achieves excellence and is the bold path forward, at the lowest price.

Citizens should stay tuned as the City works alongside private-sector leaders to move forward, because there will be more opportunities to weigh in as we make important choices for our region’s cultural and economic future. If you would like to have committee members discuss our findings with your neighborhood or civic group, please email us.
