I took a couple of notes at the mall meeting tonight about the mall building a theater at the mall. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

This is a submission to my caucus corner occasional blog.

– The cost of the theater is estimated at $30 million.
– Hale and Orem city is looking for fundraisers to get money for the theater.
– Estimate to build if they have collected enough money is about 2020. There will be a business and I think a better playground that will be built prior.
– The mall will give a million to the theater.
– Some citizens want a 9-foot wall between university property and private property.
– Citizens don’t want any roads between the private property to mall property.
– One foot traffic spot already created is fine by citizens. The number of walkthrough entrances between properties is still being debated.
– The mall will put up shielded lighting so lights do not glare neighborhood.
– Are asking for rezoning to have the Hale theater and attached parking for the theater.
– The theater will have 490 seats.
– Having a lot of local amenities and entertainments close by may increase home values
– Rights construction purchased the old Medagold property. House and business can be there as long as the building is two stories high or more. The housing can include apartments.

If you were at the meeting, please feel free to add anything else you learned to add to these notes.
