Port Theatre leads projects to be funded The Star With the Port Theatre the highest ranked county project among 56 applicants, Gulf County did very well when it comes to securing portions of more than $8 million earmarked by the National Park Service towards preservation projects in Florida impacted by Hurricanes Florence and Michael. Repair of damages to the theatre, which has been shuttered ever since Hurricane Michael, is set to receive $500,000 of the money, which is being awarded through the Division of Historical Resources, Florida’s state historic preservation office. Of $10.2 million in the fund, about $8.05 is available for subgrants for recovery, repair, and disaster mitigation activities directed at historic properties damaged during Hurricane Michael in Oct. 2018.
