Continued upgrades to Columbian Theater 2022-10-04 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The Columbian Theater is NOT one of the businesses that have applied for the ARPA fund grant by the City of Columbia yet work continues by the Adair County School Board to restore and reopen the building. The letters were painted last week as work to turn on the historic lights for Downtown Days is completed. Thirteen businesses have been approved in the first round of funding in the ARPA grant projects. Approved applicants include plans to do: windows/doors for energy efficiency, painting, awning, and other exterior items. There can be no neon colors used in the building(s) on the square. You are required to complete within six months (or, can request an extension). The Columbia City Council allocated a portion of the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding to a grant program to be utilized by local small businesses. Enthusiasm for the improvements has brought the business community together and jobs have been created for painters and craftspersons.
