Abstract:

The Roanoke Rapids Theater was constructed in 2005 at a cost of $21.5 and was intended to promote economic growth by becoming a tourist stop along heavily travelled I-95. This venture proved to be a bust and now local residents are suing Roanoke Rapids and Halifax County for compensation in property tax after the grand theater raised land assessments.
