MACOMB, Illinois-- Western Illinois University now has the money to start work on a new performing arts center for the Macomb campus.
The state released nearly $9-million dollars to re-draft the plans.
The project has been on hold since November 2014 because the school never received the money from the state.
The plans include a 1400 seat auditorium connected to Brown hall along Western Avenue.
The school says Construction could begin as soon as fall.
