THE
CITY OF VENTURA
WINS $1,076,000
FOR OLIVAS ADOBE
PRESERVATION

May 1, 2006
The City of Ventura
has won a grant from the State of California Cultural and Heritage
Endowment (CCHE) in the amount of $1,076,000. These funds will match
the City's $1,076,000 from bond revenue set aside for recreational and
park facilities. In all, there will be $2,152,000 available to restore
and improve the Adobe. The funds will be used for:
- seismic retrofitting of both the
large and small Adobes
- rehabilitation of the large Adobe
- development of the small Adobe as an
exhibit space
- improvements to exterior lighting and
electrical systems
- building of a storage facility
- improvement of exhibit building
restrooms
- signage and landscaping
This would not have
been possible without the hard work of the Facilities and Cultural
Affairs divisions and the vigilant support of both the City Council and
the Cultural Affairs Commission.
The project will be overseen by facilities and cultural affairs staff
in the Public Works and Community Services departments.
