The Museum of Science & History is $1.5 million shy of meeting an extended deadline to raise $40 million in private funds to build its proposed new facility on the Northbank, MOSH CEO Alistair Dove said June 3.
In a presentation to the Meninak Club of Jacksonville civic organization, Dove said the museum has raised $38.5 million toward the June 30 deadline for private funding tied to MOSH’s redevelopment agreement with the Downtown Investment Authority for the property for its new museum.
