“We are ready to recruit local talent in our community to join the Motown Museum team and be a part of the Motown magic,” Sharri Watkins, the Motown’s museum director of HR, said in a statement. “Our amazing team is proud to work in a place that is iconic, inspiring and recognized around the world, and we would be thrilled to welcome interested applicants to continue their careers at the birthplace of Motown Sound.”
The museum is in the final phase of a massive $65 million expansion that will make the historic Hitsville, USA part of a larger 50,000-square-foot campus that will include interactive exhibits, a performance theater, recording studios, and an expanded retail experience.
The expansion was announced back in 2016, but a target completion date has not been announced. It includes $10 million from President Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion federal omnibus package, negotiated by U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat.
Stabenow has decided not to run for re-election in 2024.
