At the meeting on Thursday evening of the Lancaster County Convention Center Authority, in response to an inquiry from NewsLanc, Chairman Art Morris stated that there were no obstacles to routinely drawing down funds under the construction financing. Similarly he continued there are no problems in routinely drawing down $15 million in previously approved State funds.
Morris said the only funding not yet available is the additional request for $3.2 million which is part of the proposed new state budget. The money is needed to cover existing cost overruns.
