The Boca Raton Children’s Museum will receive a $100,000 city grant for repairs to a building known as the “cottage” at the popular museum, at 498 Crawford Blvd. City Council members approved the grant during the Nov. 14 council meeting.
Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, a Boca Raton-based nonprofit organization, took over the struggling entity in September 2014.
An estimated 20,000 people annually visit the museum, according to Ellyn Okrent, chief executive of the Florence Fuller centers.
In January 2016, City Council members approved $50,000 for building repairs and $30,000 for exhibit enhancements.
