Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, individuals who live, work, or are just passing through will see the beauty of artistic expression and be encouraged to stop to have a closer look and enjoy the beauty of the Veterans Memorial and the newly renovated park. Evaluation will occur through questionnaires that will be received at the City office along with follow up discussions with project planners, artists, and attending public to get their feedback to gauge the success and impact of the project on the community and surrounding residents. Annual Meet Your Neighbor Day attendees will be asked to provide feedback on the project and it's impact on people who return each year for these activities.
