An effort to raise matching funds for the first phase of a renovation effort at the REES Theatre in Plymouth has paid off.
Argos Town Council members, Marshall County Economic Development Corporation members, Marshall County Commission and Council members officially cut the ribbon on a new Manufacturing Center in Argos Wednesday morning.
A fundraising event for the REES Theater is set for tonight (Thursday) from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the newly-renovated Brass Rail restaurant in downtown Plymouth.
The Argos Manufacturing Center is substantially complete.
The deadline has come and gone for donations to match a Regional Cities grant for renovations to the REES Theater, but the deadline was extended to allow for more time to gather the match money needed.
The Plymouth City Council members considered a resolution Monday night to add the REES Theater project to the list of Plymouth Redevelopment Commission projects.
By adding the theater to the redevelopment commission’s list, a donation request of $575,000 over the course of two to four years to be funded out of TIF #1 could be financially researched by Umbaugh and Associates. The funding request would need to be approved by the redevelopment commission.
The construction of the Argos Manufacturing Center is coming along.
Marshall County Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Jerry Chavez said the project on Dewey Street in Argos remains on schedule.
Phase 1 of the Rees Theater project is complete. Randy Danielson gave the Plymouth Redevelopment Commission an update on the work done Tuesday night.
“In two weeks, we will reach our first anniversary of having the building moved over to a not-for-profit,” explained Danielson. “That first phase has allowed us to do the façade work, the masonry work that needed done, a dangerous masonry portion on LaPorte Street was taken care of as well, and the marquee was fixed and repaired so it is part of the community again.”
