Museums Get New Funding Path | Detroit News

Description

Oakland and Wayne counties are taking a bold step to fund the Charles H. Wright Museum and Detroit Historical Society by bypassing the state legislature and putting a millage proposal directly to voters—potentially as early as November third. Forming a new joint authority, they aim to secure a small, ten-year tax increase to preserve these vital cultural institutions, offering free admission and expanded programs in return. While not all commissioners are on board, supporters stress the urgent need to protect local history and keep these museums accessible to all. The final ballot language must be approved by the Secretary of State before voters decide.
