HemisFair Feasibility Backed by Execs and City Officials
A Tuesday meeting saw HemisFair leaders and public figures including Speaker Peter Mie and James L. Steves push for a Showplace Garden and a $4 million budget cut from the governor’s $7.5 million plan. The committee named a garden development group to raise funds and pledged to keep the garden as a permanent feature along the Tivoli Garden area. They discussed exhibit building costs and anticipated state support, with remarks on the bill’s remote passage and the evolving budget for exhibits and operations. William Ochse was named chair of the pardon development committee amid ongoing mansion and fair planning discussions.
