This request is for $6,950,000 in state bond funding to complete renovations to the NorShor Arts Center – the historic NorShor Theatre, Annex and Temple Opera Buildings in Downtown Duluth. The funding will be used to design, construct, furnish and equip improvements to the existing buildings located on East Superior Street in Duluth, Minnesota and St. Louis County. The project will provide a first-class, community-based arts center with live theatre performances, classroom, rehearsal, scene-shop, and gallery space which will serve the City of Duluth and surrounding region. The redevelopment will house a 750 seat theatre which will be used by a number of local and regional arts organizations. The state bond proceeds will be used specifically to facilitate skywalk and handicapped accessibility and provide public access to the newly renovated NorShor Arts Center.

8) Square Footage. The project will involve the renovation of approximately 65,000 square feet

of space at the NorShor Theatre, Annex and Temple Opera Building.

IV. Other Project Information

10) Project schedule. Anticipated Start Date: October 1, 2014

Anticipated Occupancy date: November 1, 2015

(For facilities projects, this information will also be used to calculate an inflation cost, using the Building Projects Inflation Schedule posted on the Minnesota Management and Budget website.

11) Predesign. For projects with a total construction cost of $1.5 million or more:

Has a project predesign been completed? X Yes No

If so, has the predesign been submitted to the Commissioner of Administration?

Yes X No

12) State operating subsidies. There is no request for state operating dollars. 13) Sustainable building guidelines.

The NorShor project will meet or exceed the State of Minnesota’s Sustainable Building Guidelines as apart of the total restoration of this historic theatre. This project will not be able to meet a LEED Silver status, but will adopt many of the design concepts for the heating, cooling, roof, insulation, and lighting for the entire project.

14) Sustainable building designs.

As part of this historic restoration, our design team has looked at the most efficient systems for both energy consumption and life of the units. New state of the art lighting using the most energy efficient technology has been incorporated into the design. Green materials have been selected for the carpet, paint, and wallpaper. We have specified water saving fixtures for bathrooms and bar areas.

15) Resolution of support and priority designation. Has the governing body of the applicant

passed a resolution of support (which indicates the project’s priority number if the applicant is submitting multiple requests)? Yes X No

The City Administration and City Council will develop and approve a formal Resolution in support of the City’s state legislative priorities in the closing months of each year – in advance of the next State Legislative Session. The Duluth Economic Development Authority will be considering a Resolution of its own regarding support for the NorShor Arts Center renovation project at its October meeting.

Legislation was introduced during the 2013 Session – H.F. 794 (Huntley)/S.F. 1352 (Reinert) – seeking state general obligation bond proceeds for this project. The funding requested in this submission to MMB is consistent with the legislation introduced during this past Legislative Session.
