The Holly Theatre is pleased and honored to receive partial funding from USDA's Rural Business Development Grant and a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission through the Dahlonega DDA to start their major renovation project.
Coming on the heels of the 2018 and 2019 planning grants from the Fox Theatre Institute, the matching USDA grant of $99,040.00 will enable the Holly to ease the load on the roof rafters by installing a new steel grid over the stage for the ease of mechanized light and scenery changes, and also to update the HVAC system for greater audience comfort. When fully matched, the grant will also provide the theater with a wheel chair lift to allow persons with disabilities access to the stage.
The Holly Theatre regrets that it cannot hold a public gathering for its patrons and sponsors to announce its ELEVATE! Holly Theatre Campaign for New Stage Magic, a capital campaign to assist in completing the renovations. This renovation project rivals in size the original restoration of the Holly in the 1990s, when the entire community rallied to volunteer their talent, time, and treasure to save the Holly Theatre building from ruin.
The ELEVATE! Campaign is thrilled to announce that today we can celebrate the same community spirit and generosity by announcing that with the two federal awards, our Campaign reached ninety percent (90%) of the very challenging $560,000.00 goal. The Holly cannot rest, however, if it is to take advantage of the intermission in production schedule, imposed by current circumstances, to carry out this ambitious reconstruction. With the continued help and support of its beloved public, the Holly Theatre will emerge next spring stronger, more vital, and ready to serve its patrons for the next quarter century and more as a modern theater operation.
Contributions to join in the last part of the project financing are welcome! To complete the project in the grant-supported timeframe, we are counting on the Holly family to help us top off the ELEVATE! Campaign by the Theatre reopening in 2021.
