A beloved Ohio music hall is getting a makeover.
The Zanesville Times Recorder reports the city received a $6.5 million grant from the Ohio Department of Development, the Ohio Department of Development's Office of Appalachia, and Gov.
Mike DeWine's Office of Appalachia to revamp the Secrest Auditorium.
According to a press release, the renovation will include a new entrance, a new lobby area, escalators, elevators, larger restrooms, and more.
