Mayor Wilder’s committee for the Performing Arts has released another interim report. It includes a proposal to form a private corporation, the Grace Street Center Corp., whose directors are chosen by the City and the VAPAF. According to the report, up to $12M in tax credits might then be available to the corporation which would not be available to the non-profit VAPAF.
