The Susanville Symphony is progressing with its plan to convert the historic Sierra Theatre into the Susanville Performing Arts Center (SPAC). The City of Susanville has allocated up to $30,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to hire an external consultant, who will conduct a viability study and develop a business plan for the project. This funding decision was made after the city’s ad hoc committee, formed in August, recognized the need for professional guidance in creating a feasible plan for the performing arts center.
