Anaheim's City Council "is giving the Anaheim Performing Arts Center Foundation four years to raise more than $50 million to build and operate a performing arts center at the City National Grove," according to this article in the Orange County Register.  A different perspective on the decision appeared in an article in Voice of OC. 
1888 Center Plans to Open in Old Town, Orange
An organization founded a little more than a year ago to "as a regional catalyst for the preservation, presentation, and promotion of cultural heritage and literary arts," has announced plans to open a Cultural Center at the heart of the Historic District in Old Towne Orange, California. The building, constructed in 1925 and located at 115 North Orange Street, will host a bookshop, gallery, multi-use performance space, and café serving creative beverages crafted by Contra Coffee & Tea. 1888 Center will provide a home for curated books, exhibitions, and lifelong learning programs. Its founder and executive director, Kevin Staniec, is well-known throughout Orange County for his imaginative curatorial initiatives and was recognized in 2015 by the OC Register as one of the Most Influential People in Orange County.
