MARQUETTE, MI-- The City of Marquette has been awarded nearly $500,000 to renovate the Delft Theater.
The $481,000 Community Development Block Grant will be used to convert the vacant building into a
restaurant and dinner theater. Changes include a rooftop deck, a flexible stage for live events, and balcony seating.
The Marquette Downtown Development Authority will contribute $10,000 toward the project. Officials say it will generate nearly $1.3 million in private investment and create 25 jobs. At least 13 of them will be held by low-to-moderate income workers.
