Title: MOTION, submitted by Councilmember Kearney, WE MOVE that City Council allocate $1,000,000 to assist with the renovation of the iconic Imperial Theatre in the Mohawk neighborhood. The Imperial Theatre was built in 1913 and has been vacant for years. Its renovation will invigorate the economically depressed Mohawk neighborhood, provide an affordable performance and rehearsal venue for artists and organizations throughout the city, and create jobs. Several organizations, such as the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, recently used the Imperial Theatre to stage virtual performances. The Imperial Theatre is "a stage for all reasons". (STATEMENT ATTACHED)
