The representatives of the REES Theatre look for support for an upcoming grant opportunity.

The City of Plymouth, on behalf of the REES Theatre, Inc., intends to apply for a Community Development Block Grant and looks for comments on the upcoming proposal.

For those wanting to review paperwork prior to tonight’s public hearing may view them in the Mayor’s Office from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
