Renovation work on the historic Joyce Garver Theater in Camas hit a snag earlier this year after four remodeling bids came in more than $2 million over budget, but the final piece of the $119 million construction bond passed by Camas School District voters in 2016 is now set to be completed in September 2021.

Representatives from Mahlum Architects and KPFF Consulting Engineers updated the Camas School Board on the theater’s renovation progress on Monday, Jan. 11.
