Twisp board backs creative enhancements for Glover Street as match for ArtsWA capital grant
Summary
Board agreed to include benches, bike racks, murals, sculptures, paving art and Maves Park in a proposed ArtsWA capital grant using the $2M Glover Street Streetscape Project as match; a work group was formed and action items assigned for application drafting and cost estimates.
The Twisp Creative District Board reviewed a strategy to leverage the $2 million Glover Street Streetscape Project as match for an ArtsWA Capital Grant and agreed to include specific creative enhancements in the grant scope. Meeting notes list the ArtsWA opportunity as "up to $100,000, potential $250,000." The board confirmed required elements (benches and bike racks) and discussed additional options such as sculptures, a mural, mosaic or brick paving, and concrete stamping; Maves Park was included in the scope discussion.
The board formed a work group of Kit Kollmeyer, Sarah Jo Lightner and Tim McGuire and designated Will Menzies as the point of contact with SCJ Alliance and Public Works. Recorded action items include requesting a copy of the original streetscape grant application (contact: Andrew Denham), obtaining a current 60% cost estimate from SCJ Alliance, narrowing the enhancement list to a focused set of elements, and drafting the ArtsWA Capital Grant application ahead of a September opening.
