New Market Paves Way for Playhouse Approval
New Market council approved a zoning text amendment 3-1 to allow special permits for live performances in a theater under 5,000 square feet. The measure, prompted by the Robinsons’ plan to convert the Grange Hall on Eighth Street Alley, requires Board of Zoning Appeals review and one parking space per four seats. Critics cited parking concerns but supporters welcomed cultural growth and town charm.
