The Fairfield Community Theatre, which has been vacant since 2011, is on the verge of being sold, paving the way for redevelopment and reopening, according to Keith Rhodes, a member of the town”™s Economic Development Commission.
Rhodes, who started a petition to save the theater several weeks ago on change.org, said that he had spoken several times with Colonial Realty President David Gorbach, who represents the theater”™s owner David Pollack, and that Gorbach has assured him his client plans to sell the property.
“While I’ve been waiting on specific details to make a formal announcement, Mr. Gorbach once again informed me late last week that that they are making final preparations for sale and that I could go ahead and make an announcement to the community and petitioners,” Rhodes wrote on the site. “I still do not have final timing, but I understand that it’s only a matter of days or weeks before the listing is formalized and announced.”
Rhodes said that he believed the sale would be pursued through a request for proposal and sealed bid process.
To date the petition has received over 4,200 signatures.
