John Osborne, President & CEO Linda Davis, Secretary MARKET LUBBOCK, INC. - DOWNTOWN GRANT PROGRAM 511 Avenue K (Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts) TOTAL FACADE SCOPE OF WORK = $20,715 FACADE GRANT = $10,358 M A R K E T Downtown Grant Program Presented to MLI Board February 24, 2021 Project 511 Ave K (FaVade) The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts (LHUCA) is renovating their building at 511 Ave K, located within the Downtown TIF. LHUCA began as the Lubbock Regional Arts Center (LRAC) in 1997. The City of Lubbock deeded the vacant Fire Department Administration Building to LRAC in 2000, in alignment with its goal to create an arts and entertainment district in the downtown area. A capital campaign was launched, and the facility was enlarged and renovated between 2003 and 2005. LRAC was renamed the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts in honor of our co-founder in 2004. Today, LHUCA is recognized as a driving force behind the downtown revitalization plan using the arts to stimulate economic development. Creating this visual and performing arts center in the heart of the future Lubbock Cultural District helped foster a thriving arts community. LHUCA has a broad -based constituency, due in part because it is the organizer of the First Friday Art Trail, a 15-year community - wide event that brings 3,000 plus people each month to the LHUCA campus. The center also partners with numerous departments at Texas Tech University, local non -profits, and local K-12 programs. Each year, 55,000 people benefit from our programs and services. The scope of fagade work will include new signage, painting, landscaping and electrical work totaling $20,715 in expenses. The MLI Board is being asked to consider a Downtown Fagade Grant for the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center of the Arts totaling $10,358 at 511 Ave K. LUBB'1(*CK.
