I will await reaction from the newly appointed board of PALMS.

Well said Swrinfla -

I think there's room for both the Church on the Square, the Savannah Center, and a new PAC, perhaps near Brownwood Paddock as there is going to be easier access from the Interstate and turnpike to attract outsiders to help support it. Besides the 100,000 plus expected residents in TV, there are also thousands of retirees with the time and interest to support all. And we babyboomers are just starting to retire!

The parking in Spanish Springs right now is probably barely adequate for the square entertainment and the Church on the Square - at least it seems like that to me - and we haven't even been there yet during the high season!
