"The plan for the Planetarium is to reopen to the public on or about mid-August time frame!!!!

I have been working diligently with the city to transfer all of the infrastructure (personnel, policies, procedures, connectivity, social media etc.) from the University over to the city of Montgomery. The Planetarium will be under the direction of the Montgomery Zoo. I believe this is a perfect fit and can't thank the Zoo Director enough for being willing to absorb the Planetarium into her operation.

We have been collaborating on some major improvements for the future of the Planetarium. Hopefully we will be able to share some updates on those initiatives once we reopen.

I also thank each of you for your positive words of encouragement in support of the Planetarium.
