The prospect of an auditorium for Arcadia brightened some-what with the Federal government's decision to pump $2.9 billion for an individual project such as an auditorium. California is entitled to $285 million and Arcadia may seek up to $4.9 million for an individual project such as an auditorium. Council members, normally opposed to such funds, seemed very excited over the prospects.

Historical background on plans to build a performing arts auditorium in Arcadia, starting in 1977-1978. The Arcadia Auditorium Foundation (AAF) was formed by Charles Gilb, Gloria Horstman and Joe Sargis. The building did not come to fruition but the money has supported music programs at Arcadia Unified School District over the years. Now that Measure I is funding a Performing Arts Center at Arcadia High School, the AAF will fund the ending expenses of the construction. Arcadia Mayor Gary Kovacic has been a long-time advocate of an auditorium. See hard copy in VF "Arcadia Performing Arts Center."
