Carson City considers getting IMAX theater
November 18, 2009 – 3:01 pmThe San Jose Mercury News reports:
CARSON CITY, Nev.—Carson City supervisors have authorized a study of how much it will cost to turn eight acres of parking lots around the Carson Nugget casino into a downtown technology plaza.
Mayor Bob Crowell says the idea is to revitalize downtown with a knowledge center and discovery library, digital media lab and a business and technology incubator. There also would be an IMAX theater, retail and office space, public plaza and parking garage.
Crowell says the goal is to attract a highly-educated workforce. He says Carson City should be known as a place to locate business in a state capital with a good quality of life, or as he describes it, “a cross between the arts and culture of Los Angeles and the technology of Silicon Valley.”
