Cincinnati taxpayers are contributing $16 million for Music Hall’s
renovation on a faster timeline than
initially planned.
Instead of paying $10 million in
four installments through 2019, the
city will contribute $10 million to
the Music Hall Revitalization Co.
within the next 30 days, according
to a new Music Hall lease agreement unveiled Monday. City Council
approved issuing $10 million of
bonds for Music Hall last week.
The remaining $6 million pledge
will come from city capital grants.
The money will be provided in three
annual payments starting in the
city’s 2017 fiscal year, which begins
Friday. Initially, that money was
going to be paid in $200,000 increments over 25 years to help maintain Music Hall.
“The key is structuring and organizing finances up front as you execute the deal,” City Manager Harry
Black said. “It’s cleaner, simpler
and, in the long run, more advantageous to ensuring a successful project.”
Monday was also the first time
the public learned about the lease
redo and that the project’s budget
increased by $2 million to $137 million.
City Council’s budget and finance
committee approved the 72-year
lease and funding agreement Monday. The full council could approve
them Wednesday, voiding the previous deal reached in 2013.
So what’s the rush? Officials
from the city and Music Hall Revitalization Co. are raising as much
