Description
Administered by the West Virginia Department of Arts Culture and History, Fast Track supports smaller cultural-facility projects addressing accessibility and emergency needs. The program funds renovation and construction to improve access to public buildings for people with disabilities. It also addresses infrastructure damage or sudden equipment failures that could harm arts and history collections or public safety.
Eligible work includes acquiring, renovating, or constructing real property, purchasing durable equipment such as sound and lighting systems, and adding furnishings that contribute to the artistic or history-museum experience. Capital purchases that enhance an arts organization’s or history museum’s earned income are also eligible. Support is directed toward West Virginia schools, local governments, and qualifying nonprofit organizations.
