Changes approved for project to restore historic Wichita theater
Wichita city council members have approved some changes in an agreement for the restoration of an historic theater.
The agreement is with the Power Community Development Corporation for the renovation of the Dunbar Theater at 1007 North Cleveland. Power CDC has been working to raise funds for a three-phase project, but fundraising has been below expectations and the first phase of the project won’t be completed by January 1st. Phase One renovations had a budget of $5.2 million, with costs of $3.7 million for Phase Two and $4 million for Phase Three.
The city’s Housing and Community Services Director, Sally Stang, told the council that an option was developed to allow the project to move forward and comply with federal regulations for Community Development Block Grants. She said the building would be renovated and converted into community space that can function while fundraising efforts continue.
