Staff is requesting authorization to have Langton Associates submit a
Cultural Facilities Program Grant through the State Division of Cultural
Affairs. With authorization from the City Commission, an application
will be submitted to seek funding for renovations at Adele Grage
Cultural Center. Specifically, staff would like to upgrade the sound and
seating in the theater, improve the window treatments and stage,
create a small storage facility, and add lighting in the park. The total
project cost is approximately $150,000. The grant request is for
$75,000 and the city would match with $75,000 in-kind service and
cash.
The Cultural Facilities Program coordinates and guides the State of
Florida's support and funding of renovation, new construction, or
acquisition of cultural facilities. A cultural facility is a building which
shall be used for the programming, production, presentation exhibition
of any of the arts and cultural disciplines. Including music, dance,
theatre, creative writing, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture,
folk arts, photography, crafts, media arts, visual arts, and programs of
museums.
At least 25% ($37,500) ofthe required match must be cash-an-hand,
dedicated to the project and made available within 90 days of state
grant funding notification.
Authorize staff to prepare and submit a Cultural Facilities Program Grant
through the Division of Cultural Affairs for Adele Grage Improvements.
