Wallingford Planning and Zoning Commission Votes on Future of Oakdale Theatre

The ongoing dispute between the town of Wallingford and the owners of the Oakdale Theatre has apparently come to an end with the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approving necessary modifications to Live Nation’s special permit and the cease-and-desist order will be lifted, the Meriden Record-Journal reports.

The Record-Journal reports that as a result of Monday night’s vote, the modifications will allow shows to be held in “The Dome”, the parking lot will be reconfigured to address VIP parking issues, the “no noise” condition will be removed and show curfews will be imposed.
