Artistic renderings from Deco Architects shows what they believe a revitalized Virginia Theatre may look like. The city announced plans Monday to make the center a live entertainment/events space.
Could the Virginia truly be starting its redemption arc? Has the city of Somerset been recast as the hero? Is it true that the former movie cinema might finally resolve its cliffhanger?

Somerset City Council members unanimously approved a $13 million municipal bond initiative Monday that includes $2 million to revitalize one of downtown’s most beloved historic buildings The Virginia Theatre.
The Virginia will be completely renovated and converted into a live performance venue. Somerset firm DECO Architects developed renderings for the building and bidding on the project will begin immediately. The city will own and maintain the facility, which will feature live music and theater and be available for rent as a community event space.
Mayor Alan Keck said he anticipates the facility will open in 2022, just in time for the 100th anniversary of the building.

The Somerset City Council voted 10-1 Monday to approve a resolution allowing Mayor Alan Keck to negotiate a lease between the city and the University of Somerset for the Cundiff Square property.
According to the resolution, the long-term lease will seek to “fairly and substantially” compensate the city for all costs associated with the property’s acquisition, interest and demolition which to date have totaled just more than $1.3 million.
“From the beginning, I have promised that the city will be made whole with any lease agreement with the university on this property, and this resolution gets us on our way to making that a reality,” Keck said.
