A new movie theater may be coming to the Parrish area.

The Manatee County Planning Commission is set to hear the proposal at its Dec. 8 meeting, which starts at 9 a.m. at the county administrative building, 1112 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.

The approvals include the movie theater and 22,800 square feet for commercial uses.

The project, called Ellenton Theatre, is located at the northwest corner of 60th Avenue East and Factory Shops Boulevard, at 5939 25th Street East, Ellenton.
