COUNTY PLAN = MALL RENDERING
This is a mall, not a
theatre. This plan
trades a historic
landmark with a
worthy venue, for a
poorly designed mall
with walls made of
reba r cages filled
with rubble.
A thoughtful
restoration with
historical
embellishments,
bringing the
entire theatre
to its greatest
architectural
potential.

The County Plan is Not Funded
• MOU between County and MPA specifies only a small theater and parking garage
will be funded. None of ancillary structures including the historical facade are funded.
• Full Funding requires formation of a development plan with an unnamed partner
• This Joint Venture is unlikely to take place due to:
➢ Lease from State of FL prohibits encumbrances for development
➢ Letter from Spring to the County states "no more funding available from the
County"
➢ No historic preservation funds available once the Theater is destroyed
➢ MPA has only committed enough funds to build the parking garage without
office envelope
• Lease between State and County requires "Reestablishment of Great Regional Theater"
