On the Belle Isle Aquarium FaceBook page, this just posted:
"...The City of Detroit, Detroit Rec Department & Friends of Belle Isle Aquarium have now been awarded a State Historic Preservation Grant for $45,000!!! Friends of Belle Isle Aquarium will provide the matching funds so that finally repairs to the roof can begin! Thanks to all our friends [[4,115 and counting) for your continued support, tenacity, and refusal to let the Belle Isle Aquarium be forgotten. Watch for scaffolding at the Aquarium!!!..."
