D.C. Area Arts Center Asks Pols To Jump-Start Funding

“A committee raising private money for a planned $56 million performing arts center in [Virginia’s] Prince William County yesterday urged county and city officials to begin construction ahead of its fundraising schedule because of increasing building costs. The 1,100-seat center near Manassas is a partnership between George Mason University, the city of Manassas, Prince William County and private donors. The committee has set a goal of raising $7.5 million in private funds before construction begins.”
