The Center for Arts & Innovation has officially announced that they have decided to terminate their multi-million dollar development agreement and lease with the City of Boca Raton after a few months of deliberating.
“As someone born and raised in Boca Raton, I have wanted to make sure The Center would call Boca Raton home and that it could be the cultural destination that fulfills Mizner Park’s original vision,” Andrea Virgin, Chair, CEO and Capital Donor of The Center for Arts & Innovation said, according to the Boca Raton Tribune.
“While this decision to terminate our agreement with the City was not made lightly, it reflects our unwavering commitment to ensuring that this transformative vision is fully realized one day in the future. The Center’s purpose, mission and progress to date — remain unshaken. Together with our donors and partners, we will bring this project to life — whether in Boca Raton or another site that also shares our aspirations for success,” she stated.
The original location for the Center was planned for the northern end of Mizner Park, but the company’s vision is not tied to one location and they are currently exploring alternative sites while remaining open to future opportunities that may arise with the City of Boca Raton.
