Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The August Wilson Center for African American Culture is once again a beneficiary of the county’s sales and use tax.
The Regional Asset District board on Thursday awarded a $333,333 “connection grant” to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust to help underwrite operating costs of the Downtown center.

From what I understand with the situation at the August Wilson Center, the programming and what is inside is getting better from where it was a few years ago. However, this summer I worked an event there and talked to a man working at the front desk and he told me that he only has a few people that work for him there and they are in charge of maintaining and managing the center. What’s interesting though is that I thought that the Trust was already involved in the management of the center but from this article it seems otherwise. I also found it funny the way the article started saying that “once again” tax payer’s money was being given to the August Wilson Center. It does seem to be a reoccurring theme in the news that the center is once again getting funds from a new source, but the question I have is that it truly needs all of that or does it keep getting mismanaged?
