Your voices were heard. Nine projects with budgets exceeding $100,000 total were presented. Of these 7 advanced to the next phase. Finally it came down to 4 projects, and then a winner was declared. By October 2009, using funds from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation matched with local cash and in-kind contributions, Northfield will have a non-profit, tax-exempt organization with a sustainable business plan, marketing plan, and calendar of events and festivals all focusing on the Riverwalk Arts Quarter Neighborhood as a fun, vibrant, arts market destination serving our arts community and contributing to the economic development focus of Northfield as an Arts Town. Thanks to members of the whole community for your work in helping our neighborhood reach this consensus. Roll up your sleeves, lets make it happen!
