From the meeting
At the October 21, 2026 meeting, Jayhawk Theatre requested $390,000 in FY27 transient guest tax funding for its $35 million restoration. Joanne Morrell said the funds would support critical infrastructure and construction-readiness work, including phase one elevator construction and continued design work for auditorium construction documents needed for tax credit approvals. The request was tied to a time-sensitive private gift and potential financing.
Committee action was still pending and a vote was scheduled for November 4.
