Reasons for Support <br /> <br /> A~though we are aware that the Commissioners of Cabarrus <br />~ounty receive many requests each, year for funds, we feel that <br />our proposal should be supported for tile following reasons: <br /> <br /> 1. The Cabarrus County Courthouse is the only remain- <br /> ing public historic structure in the county with <br /> restoration potential. <br /> <br /> 2. The courthouse houses five important and success- <br /> ful organizations--Historic Cabarrus, The Old <br /> Courthouse Theatre, The Art fiuild, The Junior <br /> Charity League, and The Memorial Library and Museum. <br /> <br /> 3. Historic Cabarrus has shown its commitment to the <br /> courthouse by raising $125,OO0 in contributions <br /> and $50,000 in donated materials which were used <br /> for repairs and restoration. <br /> <br /> 4. The Old Courthouse Theatre, with an annual season <br /> ticket sales of 1500 and yearly budget of $40,000, <br /> will not be able to use the second £1oor ~heatre <br /> for next year's productions unless 2epairs are be- <br /> gun as soon as possible. This organization has <br /> spent at least $20,000 in the last few years con- <br /> verting the courthouse's second floor courtroom <br /> into a theatre. <br /> <br /> <br />
