Pima County is deliberating whether to put a bond issue before the voters. This bond would contain sorely needed repairs, renovations and updates to the venues at the TCC complex including the Music Hall, Leo Rich Theater and the surrounding landscaping. The Music Hall improvements include new seats, projection gear, a renovated lobby and bathrooms, enhanced acoustics and a renovated backstage and on-stage area improving the functionality for performing artists and musicians. The Leo Rich improvements are of a similar scope. This bond does NOT add to the property tax.
The proposed improvements can be read HERE.
