The Prairie Skyline Foundation, Inc. received word Saturday that it received a $7,000 Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Fast Track Grant from the Minnesota Historical Society. The grant is for a Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception reuse study.
Kay Hegge, who with Architect Brian Carlson organized the project, said the proposal “is to compare operating costs and income of a three-season arts center versus a year-round center. We will have funds for comparative business plan.”
Hegge added that the next step would be to apply for “Artspace” grants and hope they are awarded.
The Cathedral project was one of 30 recipients of the $7,000 or less grants from the October deadline, according to a press release from the MHS. These grants are made possible by Minnesota voters, who passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to support efforts to preserve Minnesota land, water and legacy, including our state’s history and cultural heritage. A total of $161,666 was awarded for historic and cultural projects.
“The Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants have been highly anticipated by grant applicants throughout the state – especially this first round. We received many applications for deserving projects. There’s definitely pent-up demand for these resources,” Britta Bloomberg, deputy state historic preservation officer, said in the press release. “It is rewarding to know that many projects are now getting this much-needed support.”
