There is consensus in the community that Court St. should be
improved as and when possible.
A portion of the building could be restored for use by local theater
groups, including a theater, rehearsal space and support areas.
That portion could be operated as a co-op between the groups, or
as a lease to one user with conditions motivating rentals to others.
The City’s financial goal should be to have user groups pay rent
sufficient to cover core building expenses.

os Recommendations
oO
We presented a series of options to the City in May 2016. Based on feedback,
we determined that the best course of action was to consider the development
of a new 500-700 seat arts and events venue that could serve a range of
nonprofit arts groups and commercial promoters, also responding to demand
for a downtown meeting and event venue.
We also recommended the development of small and affordable spaces for
local groups, potentially through the redevelopment of Court St.
