WOODSTOCK – The city’s plan to help Woodstock Theatre with a $4.8 million expansion materialized this week.

City Council members voted to allocate $100,000 from the city’s tax increment financing district fund for Main Street improvements around the historical theater, 209 Main St.

The improvements will be done in two parts. The first will center new water and sewer services. Construction crews will remove the brick on Main Street to install a new system and replace the brick afterward. Sidewalks will be torn up and replaced with temporary walks during the first phase, which started this week.
