Future of the Lane Theater uncertain after chaotic public meeting Monday

Things got heated inside the Lane Theater in downtown Williamsburg Monday evening as, for the first time since March of 2022, members of the Williamsburg Action Team came together for a meeting.

Several issues were addressed during the course of the meeting, which was open to the public and saw about 20 concerned citizens attending. Topics covered included whether a current tenant in the building has the right to continue business operations despite being asked recently to vacate the premises, how the group should function moving forward, and ultimately, what plans should be put into motion in order to best utilize the property in the future.
