The City of Marshalltown has been doing a lot of work in what is called the Linn Creek District.  This district has been part of the cities plan for years as it was a focus area in the previous vision plan called ‘Imagine’ back in 2007.

That is Amber Danielson, Executive Director for the Arts and Culture Alliance, she goes on to talk about the Destination Iowa Grant the City of Marshalltown got for multiple projects in the Linn Creek District.

The Water Plaza going in at Mega 10 Park, has been the topic of many conversations during City Council meetings.  Many citizens are concerned it is too elaborate and has lost the main focus of why the city wanted a splash pad initially.  Recently it was mentioned at a City Council meeting, that the Water Plaza project was a big reason Marshalltown secured the Destination Iowa Grant.
