(KLZA)-- The City of Humboldt has been awarded $25,000 in Community Development Assistance Act tax credits to support the renovation of the Humboldt City Auditorium.
The Nebraska Department of Economic Development awarded the grant.
The Auditorium was built in 1941 as a WPA project. While the shell of the building is in good shape, restoration work is being done to make the building ADA compliant and to install new heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems. The kitchen is also to be updated.
The first phase of the restoration project is estimated to cost three-quarters of a million dollars. The second phase would be for the purchase of fixtures, equipment and furnishings.
Previously pledges totaling $75,000 have been made by local groups and a $375,000 Civic and Community Center Financing Fund program grant has been secured.
