The Salt Lake County Council and Murray City Council have committed millions of dollars to fund renovations at the 80-year old Murray Theater.
“Salt Lake County is always looking for a broad array of cultural facilities,” said Chloe Morroni, Salt Lake County communications director. “We believe that this continues to serve the residents of Salt Lake County.”
Murray and Salt Lake County donated a combined $3.7 million grant, and city officials are hoping to match government funding with donations from local businesses and Murray residents.
“We want to make sure that the community has ownership of this, this is the community’s theater,” said Peter Klinge, a member of the Murray Arts Advisory Board.
