The Performing Arts Initiative is expecting to get a feasibility study back on the group’s concept of a 600-seat performing arts center with classrooms and studios in the Gorge sometime in November. The group’s Mark Steighner says ECONorthwest is working on the study. Steighner says while that is taking place, the group is preparing to fundraise for the 200-thousand dollars needed for the first phase of the project. The group is taking donations through the Gorge Community Foundation. Information is available at the Performing Arts Initiative website, gorgeperformingarts.org.
