As we prepare for our upcoming 100th anniversary, the completion of this project and the restoration of the exterior of this magnificent structure to its original glory is of the utmost importance – for not only Stambaugh Auditorium, but for the historic Fifth Avenue and Wick Park neighborhoods, the city of Youngstown and the entire community.
The project consists of replacing the staircase and promenade and adding a handicapped accessible ramp, plus adding project enhancements including exterior lighting, iron and door restoration and cleaning the exterior facade. Our goal is to restore the exterior of the magnificent Stambaugh Auditorium, a treasure of our community, to its original splendor.
The ground was broken for this vital project in June of 2021. The actual bids for the project came in at $4.1 million which is $1 million less than originally estimated. Our goal is to raise the balance of the funds and complete the project by the Spring of 2022.
You can now be a part of this historical renovation!
We are now entering the final phase of raising the necessary funds to complete the project by the Spring of 2022.
Help us to raise the final $500,000 needed to complete this vital project.
