Budget plan spares Fayetteville Albemarle museums in NC
North Carolina lawmakers move to protect the Museum of the Cape Fear in Fayetteville and the Museum of the Albemarle from closure while phasing out funding for Tryon Palace in New Bern. The plan envisions a 36.4 percent general appropriation cut in 2011 12 and 57 percent in the second year, with 35 Tryon Palace jobs at risk. A transition fund may move the Transportation Museum in Spencer to receipts based funding.
