Last night at the Marshalltown City Council Meeting, there was a resolution to approve the Arts and Culture Alliance agreement for Public Services. Many people are curious to what the $125,000 per year will go towards. A total of $625,000 will go to the Arts and Culture Alliance over 5 years. Amber Danielson, Executive Director with the Arts and Culture Alliance, gave a presentation to further explain what the dollars would be for.
Many people are curious to what creative placemaking is
Over and over, Danielson points to the success of the 13th street district and how the design and art have created a place that can be used for multiple purposes and brings people together. The council eventually voted 4 – 3 and approved the agreement with the Arts and Culture Alliance. Gary Thompson, Al Hoop, and Greg Nichols were the opposing votes.
