City pumps $64 million into cultural institutions
Cumbo says $9.5 million coming into her council district
Many of the city’s best-known cultural institutions, including the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), will be getting a financial shot in the arm thanks to a new funding initiative announced by City Council leaders.
BAM will be getting $8 million in capital funding from the city under a plan announced on July 21 by Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and other councilmembers.
The city is providing nearly $64 million in capital funds to more than 20 cultural institutions in the five boroughs.
