Southbury Theater Hearing Rescheduled Due to Crowd
Due to the vast number of people who showed up, the public hearing has been rescheduled for next week at Pomperaug High School.
The Public Hearing on Riverview Cinemas and Playhouse, the Southbury Movie Theater Multiplex proposal, has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, Jan. 15, in the Pomperaug High School auditorium, 234 Judd Road, Southbury, at 7:30 p.m.
So many people showed up at the Southbury Town Hall for Wednesday, Jan. 8's Zoning Commission meeting that the Southbury Fire Marshal deemed Room 205 over capacity.
Had the Zoning Commission continued with the planned public hearing, Southbury Police would have had to turn away anyone else who tried to enter the room.
In order to give everyone who came to the first meeting the chance to hear the proposal and voice their opinions, the hearing will now take place next week in the larger venue at Pomperaug.
