Council authorizes Arts Commission to apply for T-Mobile hometown grant
Summary
Council authorized the Arts Commission to apply for a T-Mobile Hometown Grant (up to $50,000) for place-making projects; applicants must deliver shovel-ready projects within a narrow window and complete within 12 months.
Hayden City Council on Tuesday authorized the Arts Commission to submit an application for a T-Mobile Hometown Grant that could provide up to $50,000 toward community place-making projects.
Staff and council noted the grant requires shovel-ready projects that can be completed within 12 months and that the application window is narrow. The Arts Commission presented a conceptual proposal for public art and place-making; staff said any specific artwork selection and subsequent contract would return to council for approval if the city is awarded the grant.
Council approved the request to pursue the grant. Councilor Tom asked that, if selected, the city consider presenting proposed artwork to the public before final acceptance; staff said the authorization before council was to submit the application only and that future steps could include community presentation and council approval of a proposed installation and any contract terms.
