Marshalltown - an Iowa Great Place since 2014
|
Marshalltown was designated as an Iowa Great Place in 2014 through a grant submitted by the Arts & Culture Alliance in partnership with the City of Marshalltown. The Iowa Great Places program seeks to recognize communities taking action to enhance their local places while staying true to the qualities that make them unique. Designated communities have demonstrated a vision that values their assets while challenging themselves to set realistic goals for advancing their quality of life. The program goals are to cultivate the unique and authentic qualities of Iowa neighborhoods, districts, communities and regions in order to make them great places to live and work through professional development training, technical assistance opportunities, a network of vibrant communities and passionate leaders, and access to other state and local resources. The 2014 Iowa Great Places grant supported two of M-PAC's early projects, Echo in the 13th Street District and Drills at the Marshalltown High School Roundhouse. In 2019, the City of Marshalltown in partnership with the Arts & Culture Alliance, applied for a re-designation and was successfully award another 5-year Iowa Great Place Designation. |
