DDA Funds America 250 Displays; Liberty Tree, Paintings and Banners Planned for Fenton
Summary
Communications coordinator Tessa Stickel updated the DDA on America 250 purchases funded by the DDA, including pins, a 3' x 5' George Washington painting, planned framing, and a Liberty Tree and plaque in Rackham Park.
Tessa Stickel, the city's communications coordinator, told the board that DDA funds purchased America 250 pins and that a 3-foot by 5-foot canvas painting of George Washington had been delivered for display. Stickel said the group is placing other orders, will add framing before mounting the paintings, and intends the Beautification Commission to install a Liberty Tree with a bronze plaque in Rackham Park.
The board discussed options for public purchase or sponsorship of the paintings and set expectations that banners for light poles would be installed when weather allows. Staff said invitations to the Liberty Tree installation would be provided to board members.
