Background Information
In 1998, the City of North Port and the Sarasota County School District signed a construction agreement in which the City would provide funding:
1. To upgrade a planned high school auditorium into a professionally equipped performing arts theater (now known as the North Port Performing Arts Center);
2. To fully fund construction of a 60,000-square-foot facility that became known as the Music Suite, which is now the rehearsal venue for the North Port Concert Band, North Port Chorale, and North Port Symphony (collectively known as the North Port Performing Arts Association).
A Use Agreement for the Music Suite (effective as of February 1, 2011) currently exists between the City of North Port and the Sarasota County School District.
Each year, the North Port Performing Arts Association provides usage reports to the North Port City Commission. Barbara Johnson, President of the North Port Performing Arts Association, will present a report on usage and activities to the City Commission on June 7, 2018.
