April 2 — Repairs will begin next Friday on the historic Marion Hall in downtown Marion. In its heyday, Marion Hall was a popular downtown destination for residents to dance, enjoy live music, and watch movies. However, it has lost its popularity gradually since the multiplex building was completed on Henson Street 4 years ago.
After all of the necessary repairs are made on Marion Hall, city officials will strive to invite various performers including famous theater companies, musicians, comedians, and speakers to the newly renovated theater. “We hope Marion Hall can serve as a new center for culture here in Marion,” said Marion City Mayor Greg Fields.
The revitalization of Marion Hall is part of a larger project to enhance the public facilities in Marion. On April 29, the Marion Children’s Park, which features a baseball field as well as several playgrounds, is scheduled to have its grand reopening.
