Strand Theater to Reopen

posted by Mikeoaklandpark on September 6, 2005 at 4:25 am

WANYNESVILLE, NC — The Asheville Citizen Times has reported that the long closed Strand Theatre in Waynesville, NC has been purchased by Joey Massie who plans to renovate and reopen the old theater which closed in 1981.

Highland Forest, a land developer, has signed a lease to use the front space to promote its projects. The funds paid for the lease will allow Massie to refurbish the marquee, facade and lobby area. The citizens of Waynesville are thrilled to see this old theater be renovated because it has been an eye sore and has been deteriorating since it closed.

Thanks to those participating in this project. We were in Waynesville last month and love our visits to this beautiful town. This will be a welcomed improvement to the streetscape and eventually a unique and important addition to the community. It is so refreshing to hear about developers and land owners working together to benefit the community and keeping the project in scale and character with the surrounding area. Great news! Wishing you success and satisfaction.
