38. By what date will you be ready to spend the funds Immediately

39. Programs/grants for which this project would qualify The DAI has performed an exhaustive review of possible federal, state and local funding that could be used for the purpose of building upkeep and safety. Surprisingly, the state capital budget funds the only viable source of significant funding that can be used for items like rebuilding the museum roof or purchasing HVAC replacements - not very exciting requests but critical for the long term preservation of the art and the building, which is listed on the National Historic Register. These types of projects are difficult to fund through private donors.

Community Details

40. Community Need Preserving this iconic building listed on the National Historic Register, is home to world-renowned art and artifacts and is the responsibility of the Dayton community to preserve and protect these treasures. The DAI remains open and is a critical economic driver when attracting new companies and new employees to the region. The DAI is committed to creating meaningful experiences for all. We can only deliver this mission if we have a secure and well-maintained facility.

41. Previous Funding: Has the requesting organization received Congressionally earmarked funding in the past? If so, please provide a brief project description, year funded, amount, and Congressional sponsor. Preserving the art and being able to attract top quality art shows because the building is well preserved is key for the future of our region. If the building falls into disrepair due to lack of funding, then we will no longer be able to showcase world class art, whether the DAI owns it or it is a show on loan. The items requested this cycle are needed - roof, lower level windows and doors replaced and replacing 2 air handlers and 1 steam boiler in the HVAC system - all allowing for the exact conditions inside the building that must be maintained to very high standards in order to house and protect the valuable art displays.

42. Direct new jobs created {Empty}

43. Existing jobs retained? {Empty}

44. Sustained permanent jobs? {Empty}

45. Please explain how you determined the job creation listed in questions 42-44. The job creation questions always remain a challenge for any arts organization. While we may not create any new direct jobs because of this funding, we certainly are used regularly as a job/company/people recruiter for the region.
