Renovation Story:
An initial $100,000 state appropriation will be used to replace the theater’s leaking roof, and a second $100,000 appropriation was approved by the Commission in May 2006. The project to replace windows, restor terra cotta work, and make improvements to HVAC systems is nearing completion, and more than $94,000 was reimbursed during fiscal year 2008.
