Committee approves $485,000 grant for Cape Cod Center for the Arts restoration
Summary
The committee approved a $485,000 grant from undesignated reserves to the Cape Cod Center for the Arts for restoration of the scenic/ponson shop, with a historic-preservation restriction required. Members debated frequency of prior awards but approved the request.
After discussion about prior awards to the Cape Cod Center for the Arts (Playhouse) and whether other town-owned historic projects might need CPC funding soon, the committee approved a $485,000 award from undesignated reserves for restoration of the scenic/ponson shop. Committee member (S6) moved the grant and noted that an historic-preservation restriction would be required.
Speakers acknowledged the Playhouse's history of support from CPC and urged mindful stewardship of limited funds, but several members argued the campus brings significant cultural and economic value and that the restoration work was necessary. The motion carried on the record after a second and voice vote.
