Our Expansion Project
Preliminary requirements from the City of Camarillo have been met at the cost of around $80K—generously covered by donations from friends of the museum who have given funds over the last year. The culminations of these tests have resulted inthe City giving us a “Conditional Use Permit” (CUP) to proceed with architecturaldetails for the construction of the project. Mark Pettit from the firm of Lauterbach Associates is the architect, while Bob Fierro is the project manager.
The cost for design, construction and furnishing the new Museum is budgeted for $1.25 million. To expand will depend on your generosity. Please join us and watch our expansion fund grow and our building rise.
