Montauk playhouse secures $6M in funding for cultural center

Get ready to get your swim on, Montauk. The Cultural Arts and Aquatic Center will break ground in early 2019 after its developer, the Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation, secured $6 million in funding last week, the nonprofit announced. Its goal is $8 million, Patch reported. Half of the project’s current funding came from private donations, and the town of East Hampton matched the amount with another $3 million. Once complete, the center will be a performance and events space and will feature a 25-yard lap pool and a recreation and water therapy pool. [Patch]
