The city of Las Vegas approved more than $4 million in funds to revamp a downtown movie theater into a creative arts campus.

The Redevelopment Agency approved $4.2 million in reimbursement funds to Third Street Arts & Media Incubator during a Wednesday meeting.

The money will go toward the first phase of redeveloping the former Eclipse Theaters’ at 814 S. Third St. into a “home for performance, media production, education and workforce development,” said nonprofit Third Street in a press release.

CEO of Third Street Daz Weller said the funds are “a catalyst for bold new work, giving artists the platform to create and audiences’ new ways to experience the cultural richness of their own city.”

The total estimated project costs for the first phase are over $7.4 million, according to submitted documents.…
