Dollars Awarded$2,000,000 Project StatusLess than 50% completed Project DescriptionThe Minnesota Shubert Center will be the state’s first flagship center for dance and other performing arts. The Center will provide space for over 30 nonprofit organizations to work, teach, rehearse, audition, and perform, as well as house an award-winning distance learning program. The project consists of rehabilitating the historic Shubert Theater and constructing a new “Great Hall” connecting with the adjacent Hennepin Center for the Arts building. In addition to strengthening a cultural and educational institution, the project will stabilize a challenged block of downtown Hennepin Avenue, utilize green building techniques, and create dozens of construction and operational jobs. The project overall is expected to create 100 construction jobs. Based on the federal Recovery Act funding's portion of the remaining project budget, 9 of the construction jobs correspond to the amount of Recovery Act funding.
