Provide a summary of the project or program:
           The 1925 Strand Theatre, a National Historic Landmark, was rescued from probable destruction, renovated and re-opened in 1984 as a non-profit presenting organization. Listed on the National Historic Register, the Strand is often photographed, filmed for tourism promotions and toured. Ever since the re-opening, the Strand has played a vital role in helping to maintain life and activity in the area as well as having a huge impact economically. Restoration and repairs would enable the Strand Theatre to continue providing a quality venue for local and touring artists, and for the local community, culturally and economically. First requested in 2007, the needs of The Strand have now become critical. The repairs and renovations to the Strand Theatre that are needed: 1. Electrical needs - rewire and replace elements on marque and upgrade of outside safety lighting. 2. Overhead plaster repair - requires extensive scaffolding. 3. Replace stage flooring - top covering - due to age and water damage. 4. Upgrade of Fire Evac System and Controls. 5. Repair and replacement of the Stage Fly System . 6. Loading dock door and lift replacement. 7. Rework basement plumbing and sump pump system. 8. Complete the third floor restrooms - plumbing was roughed in during the 1978-1984 renovations, but never completed. 9. Replacement of the weathered doors and upgrade of closers and hardware on interior doors. 10. Upgrade/Install new elevator. 11. Asbestos abatement - backstage stairwell, office stairwell and HVAC house on roof. 12. Building exterior waterproofing. Last year and the prior year's requests included replacing the HVAC chiller, and replacing aging fluorescent lighting - this work has been completed out of necessity. The request for 19-20 reflects the work done and that money included in the match, therefore, the request total is less than in previous years.
