ABERDEEN, SD (Hub City Radio)

The Brown County Commission heard from Museum Director Patricia Kendall about the need for expansion to the Museum facility, citing increased popularity and the number of people that come through the doors each year, among other things.

Kendall also talked about the financial impact the Museum actually has on area businesses like, Restaurants, Retail and even Hotels, that generate an estimated 10-14 Million dollars annually for the City and County, especially with bigger, traveling exhibits.

The support from the County would be seen on several levels, not just limited to funds.

Kendall told the commissioners she’d be back with updates each year and the County will take all into consideration as they look at upcoming budgets.
