Buzz: Construction could begin on Maritime Museum

Source are telling me that the CMPA board will be presented with a funding opportunity on Friday that could fully fund the Maritime Museum and let construction begin almost immediately.

The funding mechanism involves New Market Tax Credits – which are part of the Obama stimulus plan.

Information should be released soon on the proposal.
