Because the City has no uncommitted capital construction funds available, it has been discussed at the City-School Liaison Committee meetings of identifying a City capital project with a partial youth focus. Such a project may qualify for partial funding from the school district which would free up an equal amount of funding already programmed in the City's capital budget that could be used instead for the joint-use project match. The Firehouse Arts Center could benefit the school's dramatic arts programs by sharing performance space and also bring in classes for drama instruction and arts classes to work with resident artists. The Firehouse Arts Center could be a natural partner for the school's dramatic arts programs and visual arts labs.
