The City of Hillsboro owns this vintage theater and will soon be issuing a Request for Expressions of Interest for the renovation/restoration of the theater. The theater is in serious disrepair and every attempt is being made to bring it back to its former status as a large part of the vitality of our downtown core.

Here is another recent photo of the Town Theater.
The Selection Advisory Committee recently interviewed two finalists and made a recommendation to City management to move forward with the renovation of the Town Theater/Venetian. The selected developer’s plans are very exciting and include a restoration of the theater to its glory as the Venetian operating as a movie/live performance venue and a European style restaurant. Although the project is in its infancy, there is has been a great deal of hope and excitement surrounding it.

I was just by here two days ago. It is very nice inside and still has a little of the old feel. I do not like the new sign out front.
