In Fiscal Year 2001, the National Park Service made available grant awards from the Historic Preservation Fund for the Save America's Treasures Program via Public Law 106-291. In order to qualify for these funds, applicant projects had to demonstrate national significance, specifically denoted by a listing on the National Register of Historic Places and/or designation by the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). Projects also had to have significant matching funds as well as project consultants versed in historic preservation. The Colony Theater renovation project met the above requirements and was awarded $835,000. The majority of this funding, $700,000, will be used on interior renovation and exterior fayade restoration of the theater, and a portion, $135,000, was reserved for historically sensitive Lincoln Road improvements, The total project budget, soft and hard costs, to achieve both a historic restoration and to obtain a fully functional performing arts facility is $4,614,711. To date, the City has secured $2,200,000 in funds and has expended $96,930 for management services related to the selection of Richard Heisenbottle as the architect.
