If a performing arts center is important, why not build it on vacant land outside of town?
The Alliance was created by the City of Waynesboro with three mandates: 1) to save the building, 2) create a performing arts facility and 3) be a catalyst for a revitalized downtown. The three goals are interlaced. If a performing arts facility were built outside of the downtown, we would not save an historic landmark and we would not contribute to the renaissance of downtown. If the Wayne were saved as a faade but not as a functioning performing arts center, it would not attract patrons to the downtown and would not contribute to the rebirth of the area. Without an attractive and vibrant downtown, the Wayne “experience” will be diminished.
