Dear Advocates,

The Massachusetts House of Representatives begins debate this week on the Economic Investment Act (House 4324) sponsored by Speaker of the House Salvatore F. DiMasi (D-Boston), State Representative. Daniel E. Bosley (D-North Adams), Chairman of the House Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies; Representative Michael Rodrigues (D-Westport) and Representative David Torrisi (D-North Andover). This bill creates a cultural facilities fund of approximately $250 million over ten years to restore, expand, and build Massachusetts cultural and heritage facilities.

A commitment by the state to invest $250 million is expected to leverage an additional minimum of $250 million in private funding for a total investment of $500 million over 10 years. This will not happen without your advocacy!

Please write, call or e-mail your state representative asking him or her to support this critical investment in our cultural facilities. Please urge your friends and co-workers to join in this critical advocacy campaign.
