Lompoc Theater Project Receives Over $2.2 Million In The State Budget

November 7, 2023

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.”
