The City of Lawrenceville is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in arts and culture organizations, performing arts centers, and municipal or civic facilities to develop a comprehensive Business and Operations Plan for the Lawrenceville Arts Center (LAC). The LAC is a $35 million, multi-use arts facility featuring performance venues, exhibition space, and flexible community and rental spaces. Aurora Theatre currently serves as the anchor tenant, while the facility also supports City-led programming, partnerships, and private rentals. As the Aurora Theatre naming agreement approaches its expiration in 2028, the City seeks a forward-looking plan that balances financial sustainability, community access, and a strategic, clearly defined partnership model. The resulting Business and Operations Plan will serve as a foundational planning document to inform the City¿s FY 2027 budget development and longer-term policy and investment decisions.
