Phase Three work on the Mulkey Theatre project is expected to get underway next month following a called meeting of the Clarendon Economic Development Corp. Board Monday, November 17.
Jake Scott of Pioneer General Contractors outlined work to be done in Phase Three, which will focus on finishing out the Clarendon Visitor Center office in the former Mulkey barber shop and development of a handicapped accessible bathroom in the vestibule of the theatre.
Workers will also put a new ceiling in the Visitor Center office, install central heating and cooling, and also put new lights in the office.
The scope of work also calls for a gallery rail to be installed in the visitor center office for displaying the work of local artists on a rotational basis.
The cost for Phase 3 is expected to be $76,763 with funds coming from the sales tax and Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue administered by the CEDC board.
In other business this week, the CEDC formally declared the property at 100 S. Kearney an EDC project. The move does not commit the CEDC to any action on the property, but it allows the CEDC to study the old hotel building to see if there are any possible uses for the structure.
The board also met in closed session to interview Laura West and Linda Williams-Holt as finalists for the position of executive director. The board will meet on December 1 to make a final decision on that job.
