Sugar Factory Playhouse
West Jordan, Utah
After the city bowery was demolished to make way for a new fire station, West Jordan Theater Arts opened the 230-seat Sugar Factory Playhouse in the city's old sugar factory. Inspired by Trolley Square, the West Jordan City Council planned to renovate the sugar factory and turn it into a cultural arts center with a larger auditorium, amphitheater, art gallery, conference center, reception hall, and retail center. Expensive seismic upgrades eventually doomed the project and the sugar factory was demolished by the end of 2010.

Article Summary:
The Davis Drive-In was demolished in November 1992 to make way for new
development on the 23-arce site. There was no specific plan for the
site, but developers wanted to clear the land to make it more
attractive to a potential buyer. "Last summer was the theater's finale
final season."
