Funding for Wayne passes House

Story by Chris Graham

Funding for the Wayne Theatre renovation project in Downtown Waynesboro has passed the House of Representatives.
Sixth District Congressman Bob Goodlatte had the measure appropriating $300,000 for the Wayne renovation included in the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act for fiscal-year 2008.
The appropriations act passed the House on July 24.
It now moves to the Senate for consideration by that body.
Goodlatte had pledged his support to the Wayne project after touring the theatre last July.
