ROUNDHOUSE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT:
HOW TO HELP
(See related story on following pages.)
The Roundhouse Beautification
Project is projected to
cost approximately $4 million.
The Harrison Greenberg Foundation
has donated $1.25 million,
the city has allocated $250,000 towards
the pier renovation, and another
quarter million has been
fundraised thus far.
Michael Greenberg said that beyond
the $4 million cost of the project
itself, the hope is to start an
endowment, so that the facility
never falls into disrepair again.
“Aquariums require maintenance,”
Greenberg said. “The
Roundhouse especially so, because
it sits on top of the Pacific Ocean, a
corrosive environment. What we
hope is to keep it looking beautiful.
Sustainability is the key word.”
“This is a gift we are bringing to
the people of the South Bay,”
Greenberg said. “But for people to
enjoy it, it should continue to shine,
and not become dilapidated. It
needs constant love. I am asking for
help as much as I can. I am grateful
for the gifts from a lot of very generous
people we’ve received so far.”
