A $31.5-million expansion of the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney got a big financial boost this week, in part because other projects in the 3rd Congressional District didn’t launch their projects by deadline or needed less grant funding than planned.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Gov. Jim Pillen announced that the art museum expansion project — which will double the size of the facility — will receive an additional $730,000 in state and federal “shovel-ready” grant funds.
MONA was initially awarded $115,835 in 2022 through the primarily, federally funded Shovel-Ready Capital Recovery & Investment Act program.
