A heavy debt of respect and gratitude is due to the people of Burlington who raised their voice to save Memorial Auditorium. That voice is noble and growing in power.

WCAX reports tonight that Mayor Weinberger is committed to restoring Memorial Auditorium and keeping it in the public domain, “A plan to modernize Memorial Auditorium — make it a 21st century public assembly, public event space — publicly-owned by the city,” Weinberger said. “I’m looking forward to working on that plan and having that conversation with the council and the public.”

Commitment to restoring 242 Main should follow — please sign the petition at http://www.save242main.com!
