(KAIR)--Atchison city commissioners gave their stamp of approval for the redevelopment of the Royal Movie Theater after unanimously adopting a resolution of support.
At the June 19 commission meeting, commissioners heard from Theater Atchison Executive director Travis Grossman who presented Theater Atchison's intent to raise funds, renovate and operate a two-screen move theater at the old Royal Theater on Atchison's pedestrian mall.
Additionally, commissioners gave support for a part of Theater Atchison's fund raising strategy which includes an application to the State of Kansas Community Service Tax Credit Program.
Administrated by the Department of Commerce, the program features $3.6 million in tax credit funding with no individual awards greater than $250,000.
Grossman said after gaining commission's approval, that application process will be fast-tracked as the deadline to apply is July 1.
