Trinidad City Council met for their regular meeting on Tuesday, July 22 and among other items, discussed an opportunity to put in a grant to help to stabilize the exterior of the Fox West Theatre on Main Street. According to City Manager Mike Valentine, the award from this grant should it be accepted would be $200,000.
“It ties together with the state historical funding grant with historic tax credits,” said Valentine, “and $65,000 match that we put up for that state historical grant. The total project would be $620,000 and this is for the exterior stabilization.”
Valentine said items to be fixed included tuck and coining of the bricks and fixing some things with the parapets on the roof. $65,000 had already been pre-approved to use for the grant match.
With council passing the agenda item, the application for the grant would be submitted.
