Measurable Outcome(s)

the installation of the markers was highly publicized in local media and to the Minnesota Returned Volunteer Organization as well as the national organization. Local schools are aware of the marker to utilize with history classes. Because of park design consideration and highway construction delays near the park this impeded an earlier installation of the marker. For this reason a formal dedication event was postpone until this coming spring. At that time the landscaping will be completed for the enhancement of that event. Further promotion will be done in conjunction with this event. MNDOT has been contacted relative to placing signage on State Highway 42 which we anticipate will happen in 2016.
