In the short-term, CDS' goal was to complete research via a historical researcher. This was completed by seeking historical consulting services from Hess, Roise & Company.
In the intermediate term, CDS hoped to increase awareness of CDS history among the local community. CDS has had the ability to do so already at numerous events, including the 100 year anniversary event for which this proposal was originally submitted.
Finally, the long term goal of the program was to increase awareness of the role of CDS in Minnesota's history. CDS will use the resources produced via this grant opportunity, as well as future opportunities, to display its history and make as prominent as possible the story of CDS.
