Where Is The Performing Arts Center Money?

On numerous occasions myself and others have, over the course of the last several months, sent PIRTs (Public Information Requests) to the City Of Greensboro asking to see proof that the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro can actually produce the $35 Million in support that has been pledged to build the Greensboro Performing Arts Center. The following is an answer that came from the City today:

"Dear Mr. Jones:

 Thank you for your inquiry regarding the monetary pledges made on behalf of the Greensboro Performing Arts Center.

 Your request was reviewed by both the Legal Department as well as the Finance and Administrative Services Department.  Both departments responded that they do not have documents relating to your request.  The information you requested is maintained by the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro.

 
You may contact the Community Foundation at 336-379-9100 or info@cfgg.org


Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  Thanks again for your request.


Sincerely,

Sarah Healy

Perhaps you'd like to e-mail or call the Community Foundation and ask them yourself before the City of Greensboro gives them $58 Million Dollars. I noticed yesterday that DH Griffin has already started tearing down the Greensboro Inn to make way for the project-- perhaps you'd like to ask the CFGG who will be getting the bill for that while you've got their attention?
