The struggles of the Clintonia Eagle Theater could be helped out after an agreement was approved Tuesday night between the City of Clinton and the theater.

City Administrator Taylor Baxter tells Regional Radio entertainment venues were been hit especially hard during the pandemic as streaming services ramped up their offerings and he explains the Eagle Theater is no exception.

Residents have likely heard rumors over the years of the struggles of the theater in Clinton and Baxter says its ownership has made it known that is no secret so it is the hope of City leadership this would be a benefit to all parties involved and keep a valuable asset in Clinton.

Baxter and other members of the Council are at the Illinois Municipal League annual conference in Chicago this week but were able to still hold its meeting Tuesday night.
