The Rocky Mount City Council approved a deal allowing the N.C. Children’s Museum to operate the Imperial Centre for the Arts and Sciences.

The transition involves the upgrade of the Imperial Centre for the Arts and Sciences, a facility that opened in 2006 and was formerly a tobacco processing plant. This upgrade is supported by a major grant from the Barnhill family’s philanthropic foundation.
