The historic West Shore Theatre in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, will undergo a restoration after receiving donations and grants form the state, ABC 27 reports.
The venue is one of about a dozen movie theaters in the region. It had originally closed in 2017, but has been since bought by a developer.
"It's not just about nostalgia it's about economic growth, it's about expansion, it's about attracting other businesses to the downtown," said state Senator Mike Regan.
