Provide a summary of the project or program:
           The Tangipahoa African American Heritage Museum and Veterans Archive (TAAHM) proposes using $540,000 in Capital Outlay funds, to be matched by $180,000 in TAAHM funds, to replace the existing, original flat roof over the museum's Dinner Theater, which was constructed in the late 1950s and is now approaching 60 years old. This existing roof measures approximately 6,000 sf and, despite multiple repairs over the last 6-7 years, is leaking in multiple locations causing disruptions to exhibits, events, and tour group orientation. The plan is to replace this roof with a pitched roof matching the roof over other museum facilities. TAAHM is currently working with an engineer on the new roof's design and plans to cover the cost of Planning as part of the local match.

What is the budget relative to the project for which funding is requested?:
          Salaries. . . . . . . . . . . . . $0
          Professional Services. . . $0
          Contracts . . . . . . . . . . . $720,000

Does your organization have any outstanding audit issues or findings?  No

          Not Applicable

What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          The purpose of TAAHM is to tell the story of African Americans in all their permutations: family life, Civil Rights movement, arts and entertainment, inventions, sports, medicine, architecture, politics, religion, law, and technology.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          This project will replace the existing, original flat roof over the museum's Dinner Theater, which was constructed in the late 1950s. This existing roof measures approximately 6,000 sf and, despite multiple repairs over the last 6-7 years, is leaking in multiple locations causing disruptions to exhibits, events, and tour group orientation. If unaddressed, the leaking roof will continue to disrupt these and place public health and well being at risk.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           2 year
