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.
