TRACY – New York has a famous Grand – the Grand Central Station for commuters.The City of Tracy has its own Grand, too – the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts. And if you haven’t discovered it yet, then it’s time you head out to this southeast San Joaquin City of 83,000 residents and get immersed in a Grand experience of the arts – from stage performances and concerts to paintings, ceramics, and so much more.The Grand Theatre Center for the Arts is also a perfect example of what city redevelopment can do to revitalize a historically rich but commercially dying downtown.Located on Central Avenue, corner of Sixth Street, in the heart of downtown Tracy, the 37,000-square-foot Grand Theatre for the Arts was a $19 million capital improvement project of the city. It actually encompasses five buildings which were architecturally merged together with the central merging area serving as a cathedral-ceilinged rotunda where all the different artistic offerings can be accessed.“It’s really a gift back to the community,” said William F. Wilson II, one of the managers at the Grand Theatre whose task is that of Gallery supervisor.Since it opened in 2007, the Grand Theatre has been averaging 45,000 to 50,000 visitors a year.
