building in the downtown business
district that will be reconstructed into
the new Arts Center. Presently,
the Arts Center Ad Hoc Committee is
preparing a budget for reconstruction to
take before the Selma Arts Council and
City Council. This will be quite a
project that should have a very positive
affect on the downtown business area.
Grants and donations will soon be
requested and any assistance is welcome.
