Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Raleigh could be renamed

The Duke Energy Performing Arts Center in downtown Raleigh could get a new name.

Raleigh City Council meets Tuesday ay 7 p.m. to discuss renaming the venue at 2 E. South St. that houses the Meymandi Concert Hall, the Kennedy Theatre and more.

The company Martin Marietta is offering to pay the city of Raleigh $518,000 per year over 20 years, with a 3% increase annually, to have the facility named after it.

If approved, the new name would be the "Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts." The name would be applied to the venue for up to 30 years.
