History

Circa 1990, the City of York granted a deed of land containing approximately 30 acres (120,000 m2) to the Penn State York Campus. The land was granted with the understanding that a performing arts venue would be erected for the community's enjoyment under the direction of Penn State. Fifteen years later, in August 2005, The Pullo Center officially opened its doors.
