Shall the order adopted on July 16, 2008, authorizing not exceeding $50,000,000 War Memorial Auditorium Bonds of the City of Greensboro, North Carolina, for the purpose of providing funds, together with any other available funds, for renovating the Greensboro War Memorial Auditorium, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the renovation of the lobby, seating areas and balconies and other structural renovations, and authorizing the levy of taxes in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and the interest on said bonds, be approved?

The proposed retrofit project was created with extensive input from War Memorial Auditorium user groups, patrons and architectural and theater consultants. It has the unanimous support of the Coliseum Complex's advisory board, the War Memorial Commission, including honorary lifetime member Charlie Hagan, the first ever WMC chairman and member of the Greensboro War Memorial Fund Commission that spearheaded the efforts to create the venue back in 1959.

The proposed retrofit will not cater to the needs of one select group of citizens, but rather enhance a venue that will continue to offer a wide range of cultural arts and entertainment for people of all ages and backgrounds. The retrofit will ensure that future generations will have a modern facility that will continue to host recitals, plays, concerts, lectures and a wide array of events that appeal to all segments of Greensboro's diverse community.
