Several Salt Lake County Council members are weighing blocking a deal to send $4.7 million to the new Hale Centre Theatre in Sandy, with some bemoaning money-shuffling as the reason they’d stop the deal more than two months after it was tentatively OK’d.
The money would help with the new theater, which is moving from its current home in West Valley City to the east side of the valley financed largely by a $42.7 million bond from Sandy. The nonprofit theater also raised additional donations to build the state-of-the-art facility ahead of its scheduled September opening and has pledged to make the city’s bond payments.
