Explanation
(This amendment provides $500,000 from the general fund the first year and $500,000 the second year for the Western Virginia Foundation for the Arts and Sciences-Center in the Square. The funding will be used to support operating costs and new arts education programming. The Center in the Square provides nearly $3 million in operating support to eight essential arts and culture beneficiaries in the Roanoke Valley. The funding will also allow the Center in the Square to sustain its first programmatic venture Aquarium Arts and create southwest Virginia's first Logperch Conservation exhibit designed to promote environmental stewardship and K-12 stream monitoring activities as a practical way to improve the habitat of the federally endangered Logperch species of darter fish.)
