City Auditorium Restoration Project: The following story about the project was prined in he Feb. 9, 2012 issue of The Superor Express. Members of the Superior AuditoriumRenovation Committee are
working this week to finalize plans to accept the offer made
by the City of Superior to transfer title to the now closed auditorium |
All of the water would be centralized in one area so during
severe winter weather only a small portion of the building would
require minimal heat. If the committee is able to obtain ttle to the building, the
first order will be to make minimal repairs to stabilize and
preserve the building. Then a fund raising drive will begin in
earnest. For more information on the project contact the mayor of Superior, Sonia Schmidt. Donations for the audiorium restoration project may be sent to the Nuckolls Couny Foundation %Lois Sullivan 349 Road 3550, Superior, Nebraska 68978
