Bartle Deal Clears Way for Ballroom
-
Description
-
A preliminary agreement has been reached that will allow construction of the Bartle Hall ballroom and provide a $25 million city contribution to a revised Performing Arts Center. About 1/3 of a 17.5 acre tract at 16th and Central owned by the Performing Arts Center Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the Muriel Kauffman Foundation, will be acquired for the ballroom project. A Bartle Hall improvement program approved by voters in November 2002 included the ballroom project. April 18, 2005 the arts center board voted to consider the idea of renovating the historic Lyric Theatre and combine it with a new symphony hall. This process is just beginning.
