May 15, 2014 (El Cajon)-The City of El Cajon has issued a Request for Statement of Interest for those interested in using the East County Performing Arts Center (ECPAC) facility. The deadline for submittal is Monday, June 16, 2014, at 5:00 p.m.
The City is seeking anchor tenants or partners who wish to utilize the facility for at least five years in a consistent and substantial manner. The Rock Church has already made a proposal, which is under consideration, however the City Council has determined it is “prudent” to determine if there are other interested parties, a statement from the city indicates.
The City Council has expressed intent to renovate and reopen the performing arts center in the near future, with a likely opening in 2015, the statement adds. Prior to completing the renovation design plans or commencing construction, the City wishes to determine if there are potential long-term tenants in the marketplace who would like to communicate their proposals to the City of El Cajon.
“Re-opening of the East County Performing Arts Center will be an exciting event, not only for El Cajon, but for the entire region,” said El Cajon City Manager Doug Williford. “With a 1,145 seat capacity, it is one of the largest indoor event centers within the region and has a long history of being host to many memorable performing arts and entertainment events. As we prepare the Center for its bright future, it is important to the City that we investigate important opportunities to ensure the facility’s long-term success.”
For more information on the Request for Statement of Interest, the full document can be found on the front page of the City’s website at www.cityofelcajon.us.
