The Manhattan City Commission has an item related to the proposed Museum of Art and Light, and Mayor Wynn Butler tells KMAN that the state’s Secretary of Commerce has signed off on the sales tax revenue bonds necessary for the project.
Robert and Tracey DeBruyn have put together the plans for the museum which would be built next to the Flint Hills Discovery Center.
The funding is estimated as 23-million dollars through the STAR bonds and 21-million through private donations. The city is required to amend it’s planning documents to adjust for the STAR usage.
