New Markets Tax Credit Equity was used to bridge a gap in financing, which allowed the completion of the Capitol Theatre. The restoration of the 75,000 SF theatre includes an expanded lobby and increased circulation space. The theatre has been refitted for ADA accessibility and new elevators for easier access. In addition, the NMTC project will finance the construction of an adjacent 51,000 SF dance studio for Ballet West. The new Jessie Eccles Quinney Center for Dance will increase current enrollment to 600 students and triple the number of Dance Academy scholarships provided to low income students. The modernization and restoration of the treasured Capitol Theatre will allow the theatre to continue to serve as a center for the arts in downtown Salt Lake City for generations to come.
