John Delconte, chair of the Cultural Center Committee, says the several performing arts groups that make up the committee don’t have adequate spaces to showcase their work.

The consortium is seeking a building in northern Orange County, preferably Hillsborough.  One idea floated was the Whitted Building, which until recently helped house the Orange County Public Library.  However, Delconte says the Whitted Building could only be a temporary home as currently structured.

The demands of theater and arts groups can often require a specialized style of architecture and design.  Delconte says the incentives to create such a space aren’t just aesthetic.
