The Community Redevelopment Agency provided almost $2 million from tourist development tax money to TLH Arts Inc. Now that money might be taken away after they collaborated with another arts foundation. But the Sheridan Foundation will develop a center for the arts at the Northwood Center.
Nearly $2 million in tourism dollars destined to help create a performing arts center in Railroad Square are likely to be revoked by the Community Redevelopment Agency.

A proposal to fund a performing arts facility in Railroad Square gained support Thursday from the Community Redevelopment Agency, which committed $1.8 million to the project.
The Tourist Development Tax money set to fund the TLH Arts Inc. project is expected to be paired with roughly $1.5 million in private donations the organization is seeking before it begins to bring to life a proposal at least five years in the making.
It also will revive the project which nearly lost all of its funding in February when the CRA diverted money to other projects by LeMoyne Arts and for a Frenchtown museum idea at the city-owned Ashmore’s pharmacy.
