Here are the top stories today in Spokane: The Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center (SVPAC) announced its plans on Monday to build a $36 million arts center that will enhance the region's economy. The 59,000 square foot SVPAC will be the home of the Spokane Valley Summer Theatre (SVST). For every dollar spent on the professional theater, $33 is put back into the economy, according to a study by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The state-of-the-art performing center will be a three-story facility housing a 500 seat main stage, a 200-seat flexible studio theatre, acting conservatory for area youth and event and business meeting space.
