Just an added fyi – our City facility contract means that we manage a 52,000 sq ft building that hosts 5,000 programs and events each year. 96% of programming is arts/cultural, balance is corporate, community.
Utilities alone are over $100,000! Historic building built in 1906. Repair costs are extra fun.
