Senator Gillibrand Secures $1 Million for Arts Center Lake Placid Renovation

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced Monday that she has secured $1 million in federal funding for Arts Center Lake Placid, formerly the Lake Placid Center for the Arts. The money comes from the Fiscal Year 2026 Agriculture-Rural Development funding bill and will go toward the center's $33 million renovation project — a complete rebuild of its 50-year-old theater building and annex into a new arts and early childhood education complex.

Construction is already underway. The center broke ground last September. A grand opening is planned for July 2027.

The $1 million from Gillibrand is part of a larger federal and state funding stack. The project has already secured $7.5 million from the New York State Council on the Arts and a separate $1 million from the Northern Border Regional Commission, which Senators Gillibrand, Schumer, and Congresswoman Stefanik supported in 2025. The center has raised $22 million of its $33 million campaign goal.
