Boeing gives Kennedy Center $20 million for major expansion project set to open in fall 2018

WASHINGTON – Aerospace giant Boeing Co. is giving the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts $20 million toward the centre’s expansion project.

The Kennedy Center announced the gift Wednesday from the Chicago-based company.

The centre broke ground on the $100 million project in late 2014 and expects to begin active construction this fall. Officials say they plan to open the addition in the fall of 2018.

It is the first major expansion since the centre opened to the public in 1971. It will include rehearsal, education and event and performance spaces.
