(Atlantic, Iowa) – Atlantic Mayor Grace Garrett, Wednesday, reported on a “Mayor’s Design” workshop she attended last week in Ames, as part of a partnership with Iowa State University College of Design and ISU Extension and Outreach.

Garret was one of six mayors from communities across Iowa chosen to attend the workshop.

Mayor Garrett’s presentation to the ISU Team, she explained her research showed the Bull Creek Project in Atlantic has been a topic of discussion for many years.

Some of the other projects at the workshop, included a piece of ground one community wanted to know could be done with it to enhance the community. Each of the projects, Garrett said, were based around water, in some fashion.

The costs of the projects varied to the extent what they entail moving forward. In a brief Atlantic will receive from ISU following the workshop, the team will provide recommendations and possible resources that will help the City move forward, including access to ISU students who will assist in the process.

There may also be an opportunity, she said, to partnership for a project grant.
