Our short-term measurable impact was "Community will voice support and show increased financial support of End-O-Line Park and Museum." We feel this impact has been satisfied. Shortly after notification of the grant reception, Murray County Museums (which encompasses End O Line Park in Currie, the Murray County Historical Society Museum and Dinehart Holt House both in Slayton) submitted a joint news release in news papers and online news outlets announcing the grant award [see attached photo ?Legacy Grant Funds Help Preserve Murray County National Register Places and More?]. Several community citizens have applauded park staff for the grant award and look forward to the progress that will be made on the turntable. The Intermediate and Long-term impacts are and will be works in progress. Following the approval of the final reports for this grant, we will immediately begin applying for grants to improve and preserve the turntable. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic situation currently going on, there may be some delays. But overall, our goal will be to have the high priority measures indicated in the report to be completed by 2022.
