Explanation:
One of the approved projects on the 2019 General Obligation Bond was for the new art education building addition to the existing Hollywood Art and Culture Center (the “ACC”) building owned by the City.
In an attempt to maximize funding, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts (the “Department”) has found a grant funding opportunity from the Florida Department of State (“DOS”) Cultural Facility Grant.
The Department, in partnership with the ACC, desires to apply for this grant in the approximate amount of $500,000.00.
If awarded, this grant funding will be utilized to assist in the construction of a new arts education building that will be adjacent to ACC’s current City-owned gallery/administrative facility.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved, grant funding in the amount of $500,000.00 will be appropriated in the FY 2022 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan.
Funding for the grant match in the amount of $1,000,000 was included in the amended FY 2021 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 333.309901.57200.563010.001214.000.000.
