Plans are underway to renovate and upgrade Pella Cinemas after 25 years in business.

Pella Cinemas is currently owned by the Community Betterment Organization, a non-profit entity run by local business leaders, and managed by Central College. President Mark Putnam says as an extension of their mission to education, he says the Pella Cinemas operation is a larger vision of supporting the community that surrounds campus.

A fundraiser is ongoing to support renovations that will update seating with reclining seats, new carpet, upgraded lighting, and a new concession stand. The Community Betterment Organization is searching for additional resources, with $275,000 raised out of a $400,000 goal.
