Anne Corbett, CuDC's Executive Director, gives us an update on the renovations and delays at Source...
You may have noticed that Source still looks the same…no open-topped dumpster obstructing the sidewalk, no crane flying in the sky, no fresh new façade calling out to you as you drive by. Yes, it’s true, the renovations that we said would begin in January, then in the spring, then absolutely no later than August after the fringe, still haven’t begun.
What can I say? We at Cultural Development Corporation are suckers for chasing dollars with strings – I mean chains – attached to them.
Good news is that we applied for a federally-backed funding through DC Department of Housing that we just might be able to get. The bad news is that it takes time to vet the funding process and we become ineligible if we start construction prior finishing that process. So we are stuck in hurry up and wait and leaving all of Source’s fans wondering. Sorry about that.
For now, we are still programming Source in its as-is condition – perhaps you enjoyed Arabian Nights and didn’t even notice? And we will continue to do so through the end of the year.
The new story is construction will begin first week of January 2008. If that changes, you’ll be the first to know.
Thx for the patience,
anne
