Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We expect more than 175 people to participate through visioning workshops, mosaic workshops, and the community celebration. Also, the completed mosaic will become a sense of pride for those who made it happen and a community focal point for the neighborhood. We plan to count participants at each event and collect demographic info to measure whether a diverse community was involved in mosaic activities.
