State Theater in Garden City Could Be Revived as Multiuse Hub
Garden City residents recall the State Theater opened in 1929 and closed over a decade ago. City efforts designate it a historic landmark to attract developers and enable a tax rebate boost. Tours by Finney County Historical Society and Garden City Recreation Commission begin Sunday at 2 p.m. to showcase potential and raise funds for renovation. Proceeds from $5 tours support future use dreaming and upkeep while public support is sought for any tax funded plan. Comments invited on GCTelegram.com/opinion.
