More improvements have been made to plans for the forthcoming Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center of California.
The Glendale City Council voted unanimously at its July 31 meeting to approve the following items in regards to the museum: exempting the project from the California Environmental Quality Act, a variance permitting the loading area to be partially located off-site, the Stage II design and the ground lease agreement.
Councilwoman Paula Devine called the action a historical decision for the city.
“I am thrilled about having a museum in Glendale,” said Councilman Ara Najarian. “My support for this project was firmly based in the fact that the governance and the operation and the management was going to be shared by the different Armenian political parties, cultural organizations and churches.”
