Yesterday, May 18th, the formal groundbreaking was held at the theatre grounds. It was very exciting to be there. Its been a long hard road for many people. The current effort was started in 1995 by Joe Peirce Jr who died in 2000. The current board of dirctors led by Lauren VanEmbden have worked for over 2 years gathering support and financing for this 8 million dollar project. The renovations should be done in a year (May 2011.After the ceremoney, we all got to see the inside of the theatre in its present state. Its quite the structure with 60 foot ceilings. It is going to need a load of work and this will test the Construction crew of Ogren Construction which is in charge of the renovations. Its a great day for Millville and it will be something to look forward to seeing the Levoy for the ribbon-cutting! I will have vidoes and a photo gallery real soon.
