Just a quick update on the status of the Wilson Center and auditorium.
The City of St. Johns is currently working with the developer, Dymaxion, to obtain federal historic building tax credits for work on the building. This will impact the building development schedule as the approvals necessary are issued, so more than likely the grand reopening of the auditorium will be, at the earliest, in late 2024. The exact date will not be known until the fall or early winter.
The singing group Singers on the Grand, who had been opening its seasons' performances at the Wilson Center Auditorium, had moved its 2023-24 season-opening concert to the St. Johns Middle School last November because the Wilson Center was not available. They are now planning to delay the upcoming season's opening concert until March of 2025 to increase the possibility of opening at the Wilson Center Auditorium. If by late 2024 the auditorium's availability is uncertain, their plans are to have that concert either at the St. Johns Middle School again or at the high school auditorium.
