USBC Releases Museum Deed of Trust
 
The United States Bowling Congress Board of Directors voted unanimously to release the deed of trust on the property owned by the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame, giving the Hall of Fame the right to move to a new location.
 
Over the past year, the IBM/HF has been in discussions with developers in St. Louis regarding redeveloping the Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame within the proposed entertainment complex of Ball Park Village, a project of the Cordish Group and the St. Louis Cardinals.  Just this week, the USBC and BPAA submitted a formal proposal for the Hall of Fame to move to Arlington into a facility being purchased by USBC and BPAA. This new alternative, which is being analyzed and clarified, is also near a developing entertainment complex, as well as numerous sports and entertainment venues. 
 
“I believe moving the Hall of Fame to Arlington would be a great addition to our efforts to bring numerous integers under one roof” said Jeff Boje, President of the USBC. “We certainly hope the Museum’s Board agrees, but we will respect any decision that it makes.”  IBM/HF President, Pat Ciniello, was relieved to receive the release of the deed of trust. “Now the real work begins as the Museum’s Board of Trustees weighs its options for the Hall of Fame. We are fortunate to have two great new locations from which to choose.”  A decision by the IBM/HF Board regarding the facility’s location is expected in about 60 days. 
 
 
The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame collects and preserves the rich history of bowling, and uses that information to help promote the sport worldwide.
