After being closed since the beginning of the pandemic, the Carnegie building in Clinch Park will remain the Traverse City Film Festival’s Bijou by the Bay Theatre for another ten years, according to the city.
The city commissioners made the decision on Monday evening. The 10-year-long agreement comes eighteen months before the previous 10-year-long agreement expires.
Although the motion was approved, some commissioners had their reservations about extending the agreement more than a year early.
Traverse City Mayor Pro Tem, Amy Shamroe, was among one of the officials who had her doubts about the renewal.
“We are eighteen months from this contract expiring, and this is a city owned property,” she said. “And while I think that the Film Festival has been a vital part of our city and continues to be, I know we have a very flourishing arts community…. and a lot of nonprofits in the area who are looking to find homes.”

Assistant manager, Alison Goss-Shaw, says every year their staff and volunteers look forward to giving back.
“We decided we needed to do something for Earth Day. We run these streets, we run these sidewalks everyday, we run the beaches everyday all throughout town. We needed to something to give back,” said Goss-Shaw.
This year they were unsure of how many volunteers to expect but were surprised to see so many young people willing to step up.
“It shows that our community really cares for our area. I mean yes we’re a tourist area and we get lots of influx of people, but I recognize all of the faces that are here today,” says Goss-Shaw.
