Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
By renovating the sound system of the Broadway Theatre we will be able to raise the quality, types and numbers of arts opportunities in our region through an ADA recognized site that can accommodate a variety of arts activities throughout a calendar year. A dedicated 5-question survey to be completed at each event pinpointing the benefits to art involved with the new use of the Broadway and the sound systems to support or schedule of events.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The grant allowed us the needed funding to pay for almost 70% of the costs incurred for the new sound system. Now we can schedule a full year of events, rain, snow or shine.
