FAYETTEVILLE — The board of the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville has endorsed a $20 million expansion to the theater complex on Dickson Street.
The plan announced Tuesday would add new theater seating and expand the lobby and plaza.
Officials say the development will help bring more people to downtown Fayetteville, where the Chancellor Hotel recently opened as an additional anchor for the area.
The theater improvements will also add backstage support and storage space as well as add dressing rooms, a catering kitchen and office space.
The board also has asked the Fayetteville City Council to move forward with construction of a new parking deck that the panel wants to see adjacent to the Walton Arts Center campus.
