The Massachusetts Legislature has approved the supplemental budget that includes $4 million toward upgrading New Bedford’s Zeiterion Performing Arts Center.
New Bedford's historic Zeiterion Performing Arts Center will be getting a $400,000 tax credit from the state to go towards a massive rehabilitation project announced last year.
Parking spots on a downtown New Bedford street have already been blocked off as the city starts preparing ahead of this weekend's folk festival, and some business owners are taking to social media to express dissatisfaction.
Mayor Jon Mitchell announced millions in COVID relief funding to renovate the Zeiterion and develop vacant properties as he outlined his vision for the future during his State of the City address on Wednesday.
