"We
are building a stage for our community's future." As our community

we want to provide an enriching cultural environment for those who live
and work here? For more information History
In 1972, the Civic Center Authority was created. Many thought the Civic
Center was going to include a Performing Arts Center. Unforturnately,
that did not happen. And, over the past 30 years, a Performing Arts
Center has been the highest cultural priority identified by citizens in
city surveys. In 1993, a referendum (without a public information
campaign) to support an arts center failed by just under 500 votes. For more information Purpose
