The Saban Center (Coach Investing in T-Town)

[lowend]

I know this will get moved if not appropriate for football, but this is an AMAZING example of how the Sabans have bought into Tuscaloosa and continue to help improve our community. Per WVUA 23 they are giving a $1.25 million gift. There is nobody better. Period.

The Saban Center is an innovative community partnership that will bring together the Children’s Hands-On Museum (CHOM), the Tuscaloosa Public Library, the Tuscaloosa Children’s theater, and a community black-box theater in a unique public-private partnership under the roof of what is currently the Tuscaloosa News Building. Part of the City’s Elevate Tuscaloosa Initiative, the Saban Center will bring STEM programs together with theater, literature, outdoor recreation, and interactive learning for children and families in Tuscaloosa.

I read this article on al.com earlier today and thought it deserved a mention. Glad you posted it. I hope the national media gets in on this, but I doubt they will.

I think this will be a great addition to the city.

Is the Tuscaloosa News going somewhere?

Is the Tuscaloosa News going somewhere?

The News is still there, just using a fraction of the space, if memory serves.

That would damaged their narrative that he is a cold, heartless man interested only in winning

It is a really impressive design for the who development. Looks like the Saban Center has a world class presentation room. My guess is leadership summits etc will be hosted there.
