DOCUMENT SUMMARY
"It has been said that creativity is the currency of the future," said Councilman Harry Sidhu, one of three council members who backed the idea at Tuesday night's council meeting. "An arts center would be truly innovative and visionary. And it would be in keeping with the spirit of the great city of Anaheim."
"We're all over place," said Larry Rosenberg, co-director, with his wife, Sarma, of the Anaheim Ballet. "We perform at many different venues and we'd really like a home in Anaheim."
"This is the first time in the history of Anaheim that the council has even been willing to entertain the concept," said Dorothy Rose, executive director of the Orange County Symphony. "Getting the project even this far has been a major challenge to the performing arts community in this town."
