In the memo, interim PARD Director Angela Means stated, "the current facility has reached the end of its useful life and requires constant costly maintenance and repairs." This highlights the urgency to replace the aging structure.
PARD is currently exploring options for the first phase of the Dougherty Arts Center, aiming to redefine its scope to use approximately $20 million from the 2018 bond package.
Stakeholders are estimating that an additional $30 million will be required from a future bond package to outfit the new Dougherty Arts Center for theater programming and other arts-related activities.
The prior Council's decision to add an underground parking garage increased project costs significantly, leading to further delays and issues with the current DAC's maintenance needs.
