Lacombe approves $141K grant for performing arts centre
Lifting the curtain on a new performing arts centre in Lacombe is being made easier by a grant worth nearly $141,000 for the Lacombe Performing Arts Centre Foundation (LPACF).
The funding comes through the City of Lacombe’s Community Builder Partnership Grant and is in accordance with a recommendation from the Lacombe and District Recreation, Parks and Culture Board.
“Council is pleased the Foundation has secured financing and has an agreement to purchase the Trinity Lutheran Church for a permanent arts facility,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “One of our strategic goals is to support community groups to advance the arts in Lacombe. This grant will assist with the financial feasibility of this endeavor.”
The LPACF will use the City grant to reduce the mortgage principal, resulting in lower mortgage payments.
