Happy Halloween to downtown Woodland from Galaxy Theatres

From the Woodland Record:

As the merchants in the historic downtown Woodland prepare for Halloween festivities today and this evening, there is another downtowner who has sent some halloween greetings to the Woodland Record. This downtowner is Frank Rimkus of Galaxy Theatres who is the theater operator of the winning State Theatre Renovation and Expansion proposal that was submitted in response to the city's RFP for a downtown multiplex.

On May 5 the City of Woodland's Redevelopment Agency issued a Request for Proposals for the development of a multiplex at one of two historic downtown locations. Two proposals were submitted, one by Sacramento developer Paul Petrovich with Cinema West as the operator and the other by Woodland developer Ron Caceres. Rimkus is a partner in Caceres' team that will renovate the historic State Theatre and build an adjacent state-of-the-art multiplex, complete with a proprietary, award-winning sound system and 3-D technology.

This week Petrovich and Cinema West dropped out of the selection process leaving the State Theatre Renovation and Expansion proposal as the sole downtown multiplex project.
