Born and raised in Rutland, I would love nothing more than to see our city bounce back. ❤️We need more opportunities, more businesses, and more reasons for both our younger and older generations to want to stay here and be part of our community. It’s heartbreaking to see businesses leave or close. As a local business owner myself, I know firsthand that keeping a business going isn’t always easy, and sometimes the support just isn’t there. If we want Rutland to thrive, we need to create a more business-friendly environment where local businesses can grow, succeed, and bring new opportunities to our city. I’m excited about the possibility of the theater becoming a reality! I truly hope it moves forward, and as a local business owner, we would absolutely support it in any way we can. Rutland has so much potential. I believe we can bring back the energy, create new opportunities, and build a city that people are proud to call home. We need to support one another, invest in our community, and give people a reason to believe in Rutland again. ❤️

As a Middlebury resident I would love if there was a big theater in Rutland. I currently go to the Essex/williston for movies that Middlebury doesn’t show. But it would be nice to have another choice. Rutland is a little bit closer and there tends to be less traffic in that area so I’d like to be able to see a movie in Rutland if I wanted.

the closest theater to us is now Middlebury which is like 45 mins away and it's small as hell. I'd love a theater in Rutland again

Having a theater downtown would help local restaurants as well. It’s too bad Nona’s is closing.

Springfield Cinemas 3 is also great, but an hour away just like the one in Queensbury. We moved here in 2019 and were heartbroken to lose a local theater. It was one of the number one things we'd go out to spend money on. Also it created a HUGE lack of things for teens to do (safely) on their own, especially in the winter months. Bring it back!
