IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO BE FORWARDED AND SHARED
Monday, June 25, 2012
A statement from the
Richmond City Council Land Use and
Transportation Standing Committee
Regarding Landmark Theater Organ Restoration
(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) - "We realize there have been some concerns raised about the restoration and protection of the organ at the Landmark Theater. To be clear, there is no intention by the operator, contractor or Richmond City Administration staff to remove the organ.
Rather, it will be protected during the theater renovations and it our hope that a combination of sponsorship donations or grant funds could be found to do a complete restoration of the instrument which is estimated at over $350,000. There is movement in fact in terms of investigating this avenue by inquiring about possible grants or sponsorships as part of the overall restoration/renovation of the facility."
