Main Street Community Theater
The Main Street Community Theater project will take place in an empty lot near our Chamber office in the Downtown Williamston Historic District. We plan to make this empty lot into a vibrant public space that can be enjoyed by citizens and community organizations. Being in the middle of Main Street and right near our welcome center, this location will be easily accessible to our residents and visitors.
This space will be used as a community gathering center. We plan to build a covered stage at the far end, seating areas, and above ground gardening boxes along the building wall that will spell out Williamston along its side.
This project will be completed by the end of Feb 2021!
