Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The American Queen mural is a beautiful mural viewed by motorists as they enter Minnesota and Red Wing on highway 63 and as they enter downtown Red Wing on Highway 58. People often pull into the parking lot and take pictures of the mural. Our first goal is to get the mural repainted prior to the Fall Festival. It does not look good with one section torn down. The sooner it is repainted the better. Our measurable goal will be to have the mural repainted in eight weeks.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our measurable goal was to have the mural repainted by October 10-11, Red Wing Fall Festival. We have completed the project.
