Theater battle brewing between Sandy, Salt Lake


Deseret News, 7 December 2007

Article Summary:

A battle is brewing between Sandy and Salt Lake City over the location for a Broadway-style performing arts theater.  Salt Lake elected officials and community leaders envision a state-of-the-art performing arts theater as the cornerstone of a downtown arts, culture and entertainment district.   A Utah County developer is proposing to build an office, condominium, and retail complex near Sandy City Hall, with a 2,500-plus-seat theater as its anchor.  Studies have indicated that the state would be able to support only one facility.  Less than a year ago, Sandy attracted a Major League Soccer stadium away from Salt Lake City.
