The Terrace Project hopes to accomplish the following goals: -Provide a permanent, beautiful, unique and dedicated space for our community members and visitors to connect and enjoy artistic, cultural, musical and educational programming -Promote local and sustainable food production, i.e. farmers and farming, educate visitors of The Terrace about the importance of healthy eating, stewardship of Mother Earth and environmental responsibility -Highlight the founding and history of Aitkin -Increase stability of the local economy by infusing more tourism dollars We will document the number of events held at The Terrace. Community members, organizations, churches and businesses may reserve space in The Terrace, including the covered stage, at no-cost. We will promote The Terrace to the following new proposed partners and again record the number of people impacted by this beautiful public space: -Aicota Health Care Center, Aitkin [Both entrances to The Terrace will be paved with cement so visitors in wheelchairs or with strollers can easily access all events and enjoy the public space.] -Aicota Assisted Living, Aitkin -Golden Horizons Assisted Living, Aitkin -Rivers Edge Assisted Living, Aitkin -Aitkin County Library, East Central Regional Library System -Aitkin Public Schools, McGregor Public Schools and Hill City Public Schools In addition, we will continue to work with existing partners to bring events to The Terrace.
