Last night the El Cajon City Council voted to set aside $2.5 Million to reopen the East County Performing Arts Center. The council has wrestled with the affordability of this project for several years now and has come to the conclusion that the good to the community outweighs the cost. Of course, we may not have to spend all of the money set aside and all efforts will be made to be as cost effective as is possible.
The money is being set aside from a onetime sale of property; specifically the old police building.
