Kanab staff say Kane County Center for the Arts continues planning for performing arts center on former Electric Plant site
Summary
City staff reported the Kane County Center for the Arts retains a five‑year hold on roughly 1.5 acres near the former Electric Plant to explore a 500‑seat performing arts center; KCCA submitted preliminary designs and the city continues park and access improvements nearby.
City Manager Kyler Ludwig reported on Feb. 10, 2026, that the Kane County Center for the Arts (KCCA) has submitted its annual update under a 2025 Real Estate Hold Agreement, reserving roughly 1.5 acres near the former Electric Plant while it pursues plans for a performing arts center.
Ludwig said the KCCA’s concept documents — including preliminary architectural drawings and renderings from Mesa Design — envision a cultural campus with a 500‑seat auditorium, exhibit spaces, classrooms and a healing garden. The city is proceeding with improvements at Jacob Hamblin Park, including grading, access upgrades and landscaping, and the area near the former Electric Plant remains reserved while KCCA advances design and fundraising.
Ludwig noted that while the KCCA board was not present, the organization submitted the documentation required for the city’s annual update under the hold agreement. The hold agreement allows time for KCCA to explore design, fundraising and long‑term lease options without immediate development of the property.
