Construction On OC’s New Performing Arts Auditorium Underway; City Eyes November 2014 Completion

OCEAN CITY — The construction of the new performing arts center in the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City began in earnest Monday with an aggressive completion timetable and perhaps an even more determined booking approach.

The state-of-the-art, 1,200-seat, two-tiered performing arts center inside the Roland E. Powell Convention Center has an aggressive target completion date set for November 2014. With a Nov. 11, 2014 target date for completion, Ocean City Convention Center Director Larry Noccolino is already planning for future shows and events for the new facility with an aggressive booking plan running concurrently with the construction schedule.

“I’ve already been working with different groups and there has been a lot of positive response,” he said. “We’re targeting completion for Nov. 11, 2014 and I’m already working on something for Nov. 30, 2014, the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend next year.”

Who's paying for this mess? Tax Payers?

So what happens to exhibit space? I understand from boat show people, it gets reduced so bad they would leave if there was someone else to go.

Wonder how this will affect the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center?

So OC will probably lose the boat show crowd and the cheerleading competition that comes every year. Great idea losing out on that revenue...

Some imbecile attempted to tell me that this isn't costing tax payers. I didn't argue because you can't reason with people who are brain dead. It's being funded with state money. Where do these jerks think state money comes from?
If the cheerleader go that will hurt. Those girls and their mothers can shop.
