NEGAUNEE Efforts to save the Historic Vista Theater are continuing as the Peninsula Arts Appreciation Council works toward winterizing the building before Christmas.
PAAC announced on Thursday that the organization has been working with Carrier Construction and Services of Negaunee. The company will shore up the walls of the auditorium and construct enclosures to protect from the elements portions of the building that were unaffected by the roof collapse.
Equipment to secure the walls will be rented at a discounted rate from Gundlach Champion, officials said.
