The future home of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame finally may be resolved on Thursday when the hall's authority meets in a conference call to consider bids from groups in Athens, Dunwoody, Woodstock and Macon.
Facing an April 15 deadline, the authority, which will make recommendations to the governor’s office about which to accept, gave the four groups two weeks to clarify their financial positions.
With three new members on the nine-member board, Hall of Fame executive director Lisa Love said it's hard to guess which way the vote will go. "Everybody is trying to be as diligent as possible," Love said, "with the objective of making the right decision to assure long-term sustainability."
Love said the hall, which is not funded in Gov. Nathan Deal's proposed fiscal 2012 budget, only has resources to operate through June 30. The authority board could chose to reject all four bids. What would happen to the hall in that case, Love said, has not been determined.
