Measurable Outcome(s)

Short-term progress indicator was achieved when the Conditions Assessment Report was completed. The Intermediate Term progress indicator will be met when the Osseo City Council meets in a work session later in 2020 to discuss a timeline and budget and possible funding sources for stabilizing and preserving the 1915 Osseo Water Tower. The Long Term Progress Indicator has not been achieved as it is dependent on the Intermediate Term Indicator.
