Spitzer and Utica Mayor David Roefaro. “The
Stanley
project has the potential to serve as a catalyst for downtown
redevelopment and the re-birth of
Utica
as a regional center for the performing arts,” Picente said. “The
Stanley Performing Arts Center is a regional treasure and a living
landmark that is one of the major hubs of the
Mohawk
Valley
’s thriving arts culture. The
Stanley
is also a major regional cultural and economic engine, a community
landmark and a piece of our region’s past that is a catalyst to a better
future.
County
Government
is proud to be a partner with the community, the state and the region in
the effort to enhance excellence in our arts district.” |
