🏛️ Today marked a major milestone in the revitalization of the historic New Granada Theater!

Community leaders, elected officials, project partners, and the Hill CDC team came together to celebrate the completion of Phase I and the official launch of Phase II of this transformational project. The celebration also recognized a significant investment of a $1 million Main Street Matters grant. This funding will help bring the next phase of restoration to life, including a café, black box theater, and lounge space.
For nearly a century, the New Granada Theater has stood as a symbol of Black culture, and resilience in the Hill District. Thanks to the dedication of the Hill Community Development Corporation, community partners, and supporters at every level, this historic landmark is once again being transformed into a destination for arts, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and economic opportunity.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in this vision and helped make today possible. The story of the New Granada is still being written, and we`re proud to continue building its future.

A special thank you to Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, Mayor Corey O`Connor, State Representative Aerion Abney, County Executive Sarah Innamorato for attending and speaking at todays event!
