Waynesboro City Council voted Monday to approve a resolution authorizing a city financial stake in a satellite campus of the Virginia Museum of Natural History.
The resolution backs a package of economic incentives totaling $1 million to go toward the $7.5 million project.
The site for the new museum would be on city-owned property near Constitution Park in Downtown Waynesboro.
The city money is contingent on funding from the state and from private sources.
