Lompoc Theater Project Receives Over $2.2 Million In The State Budget
Senator Monique Limón championed a funding request, with the support of Assemblymember Hart, to secure $2.285 million in the California State Budget to fund renovations for the 1927 Lompoc Theater Project. This funding comes as an addition to the recent investment of $150,000 from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
“I am proud to have led this request to secure $2.285 million for the Lompoc Theater Project in this year's State Budget,” said Senator Limón. “This project has been years in the making and will provide a cultural center in the heart of Lompoc – bringing together families, children, artists and theater enthusiasts. I am thrilled to see this project come to life.”
“This is the biggest thing to happen to the Lompoc Theatre since the day it opened. We now have a clear path forward that could enable us to reopen the theater in time for its 100th birthday,” said Mark Herrier, Executive Director of the Lompoc Theatre Project. “The hardworking people of Lompoc deserve this, our children deserve this, and we cannot thank Senator Limón enough. This changes everything forever.”
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians pledge a matching grant to The Lompoc Theatre Project
The Lompoc Theatre Project has received a $150,000.00 grant pledge from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. This is by far the most substantial opportunity for LTP.
Every dollar raised by the LTP will double with the very generous funding offered by the Band of Chumash. "We are proud to support efforts that foster community enrichment through the arts and have the potential to bring together people from diverse backgrounds," said Kenneth Kahn, tribal chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
Theatre ambassadors, the Lompoc Theatre Project, kicked off the three-phase community-led project in 2012 with a goal to restore the historic theater to its former glory as a hub for arts and culture in the area.
