Officials outline $50,000 plan for Red Mill 25th-anniversary sculpture and site improvements
Summary
The superintendent described a proposed large sculpture and signage at Red Mill to mark the park's 25th anniversary, estimating total costs near $50,000 and reporting multiple grant and foundation funding requests.
Superintendent Jeremy briefed the board on a Red Mill 25th-anniversary project that would include a large sculpture, signage and site improvements. He said the Park Foundation has already pledged $20,000, and he has applied for a $25,000 HFO grant and $5,000 from a "Power for Good" grant; the sculptor's rough estimate for the piece and associated work is about $30,000, with signage and a staircase adding more costs.
"We're looking at probably $15 from a local vendor ... so yeah, we're looking at a that's gonna be a pretty expensive project pushing $50,000 probably," Jeremy said. Board members expressed support for commemorating the park and discussed potentially building a small operational mill replica or pond feature as part of related site improvements. No final funding decision was made; staff will continue fundraising and grant-seeking.
