Mid Mon Valley Cultural Trust applies for $500,000
The Borough
of Charleroi, in their December meeting, passed a resolution authorizing the
submission of a $500,000 grant to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and
Economic Development. The Mid Mon
Valley Cultural Trust will be the sub recipient and the grant will be used for
the restoration of the Coyle Theater.
The Mid Mon
Valley Cultural Trust has undergone many changes in the last few months with long
term chairman Nancy Ellis leaving the Board and an expansion of the board from
7 to 14. Adele Pireaux, the new
chairman has overseen the expansion of the board and the creation of a business
plan. “The business plan is a
living document and we will continuously amend the plan as the funding becomes
available. I believe the crucial
part of the plan is the demographic analysis that shows there is a market for
what we are proposing.”
The Trust
has recently been able to turn the lights back on in the building and will be
working to connect the sump pump to drain the water from the basement. The Trust has plans in the next few
weeks, to eliminate the current seating in the theater and give the structure a
general clean up.
The Coyle
Theater is located in an Enterprise Zone and is eligible for a 75% tax credit
on all corporate contributions under the Neighborhood Assistance Program and
will be seeking contributions to fix the roofs on all three of the Trust
buildings, the Coyle and the two adjacent buildings. The Board plans to authorize the filing of forms with the
Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations to authorize creation of a
capital campaign. “We will be looking to raise $120,000 as soon as possible in
order to stop the water infiltration throughout the building”, said Pireaux.
