Spencer Community Theatre Breaks Ground on major Remodeling effort

Spencer Community Theatre (SCT) breaks ground on a $1.4 million remodeling project. This was one of the components of the successful 2008 Spencer Great Places application.

 

Over 200 people attended the ground breaking ceremony. SCT was awarded a grant of $85,000 this past July as part of the funding effort for this project. This award, along with other grants from the State of Iowa has been instructional in achieving the fundraising goal.

 

As Connie Goeken said “Great Places has been very instrumental in assisting this community in leveraging our resources… without the assistance of Great Places this project might not have moved forward.”
