Bogie Shooter, thanks for the info. The proposal looks promising. I think starting modest is much more sensible than erring on the side of overbuilding, with the inherent dangers of operating in the red and having to subsidize or close down.
I also like the fact that the facility will be at an existing town square. Drawing more people to SS should enable more businesses to do well there, thus potentially revitalizing the whole square. Just as old strip malls eventually lose business and tenants as new strip malls are built, the older town squares would suffer if everything new and exciting went to "the latest and greatest" town square. So far, I'm encouraged. |

performing arts center
Sure sounds like a generous, helpful offer along with some good mgmt advice. I suppose the developer gets rid of a losing operation but still a no cost donation seems generous. Also, I like the idea that he's involved a professional familiar with these type of facilities and their financial realities. I hope the decision makers listen and act carefully as this type of facility is sure to need ongoing financial support.

I would think that parking would be a big issue in Spanish Springs. I will be interested to see how that is handled as this plan moves forward.

That is a big concern of ours. Why I think there is ample parking behind the old sales office or out by the shuttle drop off, that is a bit of a walk for some folks I know. Perhaps long range plans might include some kind of shuttle service from parking areas to the front door. |

Seeking responses on PAC
Hello. My name is Dave Schlenker, and I am the entertainment editor for the Ocala StarBanner. I am working on a story about PALMS and the proposed performing arts center for the tri-county area. I would like to speak to residents in this area about the need for a PAC of that size here. Any other thoughts among residents would be appreciated, too.
My office number is 352-867-4120. Many thanks Dave Schlenker |

I love the Spanish Springs Town Square as I am in favor of anything that will help keep it vibrant, exciting and viable.
I think the concern over parking needs to be worked out. I was wondering if this "not overbuilding" PAC at the Church on the Square would limit the seating capacity. I think I rememer it being said before the seating capacity would prevent the big named stars from being able to perform as it would not generate enough revenue? If I am wrong, can someone please correct me? |
