The Salt Lake City Council, acting as the Redevelopment Agency, voted unanimously Tuesday to pursue retailers to occupy the vacant space at Main Street's mothballed Utah Theatre.
The RDA will offer one- or two-year leases to lure merchants into the four retail areas just south of the historic theater entrance. The city hopes the move will activate the dead space on Main between 100 South and 200 South as a bid process unfolds to find a developer for the old theater deeper inside the building. That process is expected to take two to three years. The Salt Lake Tribune
