More details surface in DSP Project 105, the State Theatre expansion

Excerpts from the article published at the Woodland Record:

In a February 4 letter that was copied to all Woodland City Council members, Petrovich development officer Robert Millsap stated, "...everyone is missing a key component to the equation. The entry plaza of this theater [at Third and Main] must be in close proximity to the new court house and the public parking that will be developed/designated with it. The City has zoned the 3rd & Main site for development of the theater complex because it meets all the necessary criteria."

In reality, key components to the equation are: 1) In August last year the State of California selected an alternative site, not in proximity to the Petrovich project, between Fifth and Sixth Streets on Main, 2) In October last year the city abandoned the plan for a parking structure for the courthouse and the Petrovich theater. The State of California has stated that it does not expect the City of Woodland to provide any parking facility for the new courthouse, and 3) There is plenty of existing parking in the city lot behind the Hotel Woodland, only steps from the State Theatre along Dog Gone Alley.
