Over $7 million approved for Vegas mob museum exhibits, remediation
The former federal courthouse and post office will soon be the new home of the Las Vegas Organized Crime and Law Enforcement Museum, otherwise known as the Mob Museum, in downtown Las Vegas. Just over $7 million in funding has been approved for the museum project, which will feature at least 30 interactive exhibits in the three-story, 41,000-square-foot building.
The first step in renovating the historic courthouse was asbestos and lead paint removal. Additional funding was earmarked to fund the asbestos abatement and the renovation of the building’s interior shell according to standards set by the Secretary of Interior for a National Historic Register building.
