Nelson Civic Theatre Society plans rejected

This after their first phase concept for a multi-million-dollar digital conference and learning centre was rejected by council last week.

The society had proposed building a $1.6 million first floor concourse that could access all future movie theatres and other spaces in the 80-year old city-owned site.
