Groundbreaking Held for McAllen Performing Arts Center
Mayor Jim Darling and the City Commission broke ground Thursday July 24, 2014 on the new $45 million McAllen Performing Arts Center that will become another signature facility in the city and host everything from big Broadway shows to local recitals.
City Commissioner and Mayor Darling touted the benefits of the new facility at the groundbreaking that included the building’s designers ERO Architects with Holzman Moss Bottino, the contractor SpawGlass Construction, city officials and members of the community. The vision behind the 1,800-seat performance center is to create a dynamic venue that rivals any big city but will also meet the needs of the local community.
