Dear Mr. Collins:
I am pleased to write a letter of support for a new Performing Arts Center Eastside (PACE) to be located in downtown Bellevue.
Bellevue Community College (BCC) knows firsthand the high demand that exists for the type of space that PACE will offer to our surrounding communities. The facilities at BCC are often called upon to provide space for a variety of activities, including dance performances, concerts, seminars, conferences, and high school graduations. PACE will greatly benefit regional and local schools, arts groups, and civic and community organizations by fulfilling space needs that are not currently available. By accommodating a variety of activities for larger audiences, PACE will also be able to attract new programs that will benefit residents and students in our geographic area.
Bellevue Community College fully endorses this project and welcomes the opportunity to work and collaborate with PACE
We wish you the best of luck as you go forward in this important endeavor.
B. Jean Floten
President
