BETHEL, NY-Details of a Performing Arts Center development to be built on property surrounding the original site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival was unveiled to a joint meeting of the Bethel Town Board and Planning Board yesterday (June 12). As of yet, the cost and the scope of the development of the remainder of the Master Plan have yet to be ascertained. The project will be housed on 40 acres inside the 634.79-acre site.

The project developer, the Gerry Foundation, unveiled a master plan that would include a Performing Arts Pavilion featuring 3,500 covered seats in an open-air pavilion and accommodations for lawn seating of another 14,000 patrons. In addition, the plan calls for the future construction of a Performance Hall that would seat approximately 1,000; a School for the Performing Arts, an interactive museum called “The Music Experience”; an Inn and Conference Center that would feature 250 to 300 rooms; conference facilities; and a restaurant.

Also included would be a Marketplace and Visitor’s Center that would house themed retail shops, dining, art exhibition and gallery space. The developer adds that sufficient infrastructure will have to be incorporated into the site such as the installation of electric, water and sewer lines as well as a new access road and parking.
