Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To remove the old sidewalk and replace with new cement. Our organizations evaluates its activities by the feedback received from participants of the particular class or event. We have also requested feedback from our clientele via surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This grant provided funding to allow replacement of the 4' x 117' sidewalk which runs along the west side of the Perham Center for the Arts building. The replaced area now ensures greater safety for the participants of the community arts functions held at the center. The old sidewalk was uneven with heaving and cracks, causing grave concern as a hazardous area for people to navigate. This new sidewalk is especially valued as it provides a safe walkway for entry to the building.
