National Museum of Industrial History receives state funding
Pennsylvania State Representative Steve Samuelson recently announced $500,000 in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) funding to the National Museum of Industrial History (NMIH) for its Second Floor Expansion project.
The National Museum of Industrial History’s mission, in affiliation with the Smithsonian Institute, is to forge a connection between America’s industrial past and the innovations of today by educating the public and inspiring the visionaries of tomorrow. The main objective of the expansion project is to increase space for exhibits, programming and events that will educate and inspire while promoting visibility for both the Museum and the region as a vital and vibrant destination for visitors and locals alike.
The RACP (Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program) is used for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects. Qualifying projects have a regional or multi-jurisdictional impact, help create or maintain jobs, and generate economic activity. Senator Lisa Boscola and Senator Pat Browne were instrumental in securing previous RACP funding in the amount of $1,000,000 towards the ongoing project.
