News, Eau Claire
Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes visited the new location of the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire (CMEC) on Friday.
The new museum, scheduled to open in January 2023, has benefited from a $250,000 state grant from WEDC. The Community Development Investment Grant is supporting the construction of the 25,000 square foot building at 126 N. Barstow St. in downtown Eau Claire. Using its space more efficiently than in the old location, which was a few blocks away, the CMEC will now offer 6,000 more square feet of exhibit and programming space.
