UP#300 MOHAI & The City Budget
Today, the Council arrived at a compromise on the City's agreement with The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) on its move to the Armory at South Lake Union. The compromise provides the City an additional $8.5 million next year to help soften the blow to human services and other budget areas in 2011 & 2012. Rather than a loan, the parties have agreeed to restructure the timing of money flowing from the State through the City to MOHAI.

With the economic recession and the Obama administration support for equitable development principles, communities are organizing to use recovery dollars to promote communities that empower those who have been hurt first and worst.
