The City of Nashua has brought together architects, performing arts center experts, community leaders, arts and
performance organizations, private performance oriented businesses, elected officials, and the broader
community to the conversation. The City and its consultants have produced a report and plan that indicate that

the 201 Main Street Building (formerly Alec's Shoes) would be the best site, and that an audience size of 500-700
is the right fit for the region.

At this time, the City is working through the process of approval for a bond measure for this project. The total
amount of the bond is $15.5 million. This bond will support both purchasing the building, and the construction
and fit up for this modern venue. In addition, project organizers will also have to raise $4 million from private
donations to make the project possible and most importantly - truly feasible. These private funds will ensure an

endowment that will produce substantial revenue, and offset the cost of ongoing operations of the project.

We, the undersigned, petition the Nashua, NH Board of Aldermen to unanimously vote yes on the passage of

legislation relative to bonding the proposed Performing Arts Center at a meeting of the full Board of Aldermen

at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 12th.
